Photography Group for Joy.

Now is lovely time for photography!

This course is designed to support those who have a long term health condition/disability or may be facing a loss of confidence due to anxiety. It is also aimed at carers and those who are being cared for. This course is run by Well Image CIC. 18+

This will take place over six sessions online using Zoom.

Small, supportive non-competitive group.

We will be exploring images together to inspire a photographic activity for you to do between sessions.

This can be in whatever outdoor space you have access to. If you are less able to leave your home we have plenty to inspire you.

You can use a phone or camera. Any level welcome.

This workshop is run by Vanessa Miles, a photographer, teacher and director of Well Image CIC.

Starting 29th May 2024 weekly from 10.30 am - 12 noon for 6 weeks. (so also 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th May and 3rd July) You will supplied with the same Zoom link for each session after the initial session.

This will be a fun, informal group for those who may not have participated in something like this before and would like to dip their toe in the water!

We will be discussing what we think makes a good picture and exploring a few known rules of composition and when it's best to break these! Also, how to 'see' good natural lighting for a photograph and how best to utilise this. You will be expected to upload the photos by wetransfer.com or email them to Vanessa by noon, two days before each online photography session.

Much of the fun is to see how others have interpreted the task and to hear their experiences. We welcome positive feedback and encouragement from participants whatever the level of photography. It is hoped that people take inspiration from each session and will see the world in whole new light!

If you have any queries, do email me here.

Looking forward to meeting you.

"An excellent course with tutors who are focused, gentle and enabling.”

"I have not only found that beauty is everywhere, even in my carpark but I have started to venture out into the world once again. I have found a new joy in my life and I am proud of the pictures I have taken. I now have a creative outlet that I can continue, especially as I have had to stop other creative pursuits due to poor health. I now look around me and notice what there is to be positive about in the big wide world, even if I can't go too far into it!"

"Thank you so much for this course it has transformed my mental health and got me physically moving more too which is quite a feat with my M.E & Fibromyalgia. I will miss it - please let me know if you can do this again." Ruth

"As a photographic project of my own choice this is totally different to anything I've ever undertaken. Noticing light shadow and many more things, that Vanessa has taught me and the group over the last 6 weeks, has enabled me to rekindle my passion of photography with new, and different perspectives, on life and my surroundings".
