Spend the day with professional photographer Peter Martin capturing village life and The Great Broadway Paint-Off that will be taking place in the village that day.

Everyone has a story to tell. Some do it with words, or music, or art, but this workshop is for someone who wants to tell a story with their camera.

The day starts with an early morning session where Peter will cover all the important elements of reportage Street Photography and how to capture the shots needed to document life …with the aim of creating a photo essay comprising of a minimum of 5 photographs. The photo essay can illustrate either the event as a whole or the story of one of the artists from beginning to end of the day.

The group will then be released into the village to spend a couple of hours capturing scenes in the village individually.

The group then reconvenes at 12:30 to have lunch, share shots captured so far and obtain advice from Peter.

After the lunchtime session the photographers will once again venture out into the village capturing the rest of the day and the culmination of the Paint-Off with the exhibition and announcement of prizewinners in the marquee from 4-5pm.

The day will conclude with a wrap up session at 5pm. The group will then have the opportunity to share their resulting work online after the editing step is complete.

Participants will have the chance to connect with Peter via email and phone in advance of the workshop in order to help them prepare and get the most out of the day, discussing approaches and possibilities.

This workshop is open to anyone age 16 and over, and especially useful for those working towards their Photography A level.

Workshop participants can spend as little or as much time as they like capturing scenes during the day.
