Great storytelling portraits and illustrative prints don’t just appear by magic. The journey from concept to print includes many stages, all requiring different skills and approaches.

Want to learn what they are? Then join award-winning photographer Kris Anderson as he talks about his creative process, and reveals techniques you can use for your own work.

If you’ve struggled to come up with or refine ideas, if you don’t quite know where to start to make your images reality, then this workshop is for you. Kris will cover generating ideas, pre-visualisation, logistics of the shoot and post-production.

What to bring

All you need is a pen and paper for making notes, sketching, and collaborating with other participants.
