Photography Workshops
Photography Workshops in partnership with City and Islington College
The OCA is pleased to announce that City and Islington College are running three photography workshops in London later this year which have been designed to complement OCA photography courses.
The workshops and dates are:
Creative Studio Photography (2 days, 15 and 16 April 2010)
This workshop will be of particular interest to students on or considering the course Art of Photography and will give students an in-depth experience of use of studio lighting for creative still life subjects.
London Location & Architecture (4 days, 26-29 July 2010)
This workshop will be of particular interest to students on or considering the courses People and Place and Photography 2: Landscape and will give students an in-depth experience of use a variety of camera formats and tilt-shift lenses.
Studio Portraiture (4 days, 2-5 August 2010)
This course will be of interest to a wide range of OCA photography students. It will provide an opportunity to develop portraiture skills using a full scale studio and studio flash.
The standard price for City and Islington Photography Workshops is £300 for two days and £600 for four days, but we have negotiated a discount for OCA students of £50 on the two day course and £100 on the four day courses. The college is conveniently located just north of central London (see map) and it may be possible to rent student accommodation for the summer courses.

There were six OCA students on the studio photography course last week at City and Islington. This course was given by Richard Maxted who produces some stunning photographs. The two days were a steep learning curve combining the use of equipment (large format camera, mains flash units, and the rest) as well as getting familiar with the process of setting up and controlling the light. I got a lot out of it.
Thanks for the feedback Nicholas. One of the ideas behind the workshops was that they would give students the opportunity to use equipment that is prohibitively expensive. I will be interested to know if as time goes by you feel you can apply the learning on controlling light to your personal photography.
