This all-day, in person workshop, will explore how to make best use of available resources to respond to the theme. The theme for this workshop is Tension/Release, and you will be encouraged to consider ways in which tension and release play in your everyday lives, or more broadly in the wider world. The workshop will take place at Central Saint Martins.

The facilitator, a practicing portrait and commercial photographer will encourage you to work collaboratively to respond to a theme, using the outdoor space to capture images that feed into this response, without the need to rely on the latest and greatest camera gear.

You will be given the time and space to work on this concept collaboratively, using what you have captured outdoors, Milanote the platform that is becoming increasingly popular as a means to organise creative projects, and Pinterest the image sharing and social media service.

About the facilitator

Kid Circus

Kid Circus is a London-based fashion and portrait photographer, whose images comprise stylised, emotive compositions and softly saturated colours. He is known for the raw and sensitive way in which he captures his diverse range of subjects.

Kid predominantly shoots using analogue equipment, a method he credits with honing his eye, tightening his image capturing process and enabling him to develop his signature style.
