Visual Language: Photography Workshop.


The Brief
Produce a set of ten photographic prints that explore your given colour:
red/blue/yellow/orange/green/blue/purple.

You must consider/document lighting, frame/format and it's relationship with other colours.

The Process
During the workshop you will be introduced to a range of tools and procedures available to you in photography. This will include a studio and camera induction, composition- frame and format, studio lighting methods and recording colour.

Having been introduced to these tools you should use your private study time and studio development to further develop your skills in response to the brief.

Context

Which colours together "pop" and which cancel each other out, and how can you control this?
