Nautical Photography Workshop with Mark Chew
Spend a day with master photographer Mark Chew, all the way from the big island, and learn all about nautical photography. Mark Chew is a keen ocean sailor and has spent many years in the commercial photography industry, sharing his love of presenting a story in an image. Mark is also the man behind the Southern Wooden Sailing Blog, and board member for the AWBF. So not only will you learn the basics of story telling and composition, exploring your subject and presenting your images, you will more than likely hear stories from Mark's travels and adventures too.
Learn about how the lighting reflects off the lines of a wooden boat, how the colours of an image tell a story and how the weather affects the atmosphere of your image.
Participants would need their own camera with some ability to adjust controls… ie not an iphone!
