Next Workshop - Shutter To Studio 10.12.2011
Shutter To Studio
This diverse and interactive four-hour digital photography workshop begins with a professional and insightful analysis of famous images plucked from a range of photgraphic genres (reportage, travel, landscape, fashion).
Together we’ll look closely at what makes these photographs so good - what elements they share and how they differ — before demonstrating how these elements can be achieved and applied to the students’ own work to make it instantly more compelling.

What is the Berlin Photographic Society?
Berlin Photographic Society (BPS) is a company founded to explore visual culture in Berlin. Inaugurated by film-maker & photographer Stuart Acker Holt and writer & photographer Paul Sullivan, the society aims to provide an umbrella for Berlin-based photographers and build a database of urban-themed imagery for both creative and commercial use.
The BPS leads tours and workshops that explore the technical and aesthetic aspects of photography while engaging with the city in interesting ways. Themed excursions cater for a range of interests and technical levels, ranging from Slow Photography walks and Bicycle rides to tips on how to photograph people and buildings.
Workshops are available in basic DSLR photography and compositional techniques and bespoke versions of all services can be arranged. Please send a mail to paul@paul-sullivan.com for more information.
