A professional photographer is set to lead a workshop for young enthusiasts in Somerset next month.
Joss Barratt, a renowned stills photographer, will be sharing his expertise at the Portrait Photography Workshop in Chard.
The hands-on workshop, aimed at budding photographers aged 13 to 18, will be held on Sunday, May 18, at the Chard Young People’s Centre.
The event is organised by Somerset Film with the aim of helping aspiring photographers improve their skills.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about framing and composition, working with light, achieving sharp, in-focus shots, directing a model, and understanding camera settings.
Participants can choose between a morning session from 10am to 12.30pm or an afternoon session from 1.30pm to 4pm.
The workshop is priced at £25, but thanks to support from Octagon Theatre, South Somerset residents can access a free subsidised place.
Advance booking is essential as spaces are limited, and can be done so at somersetfilm.com/whats-on.
Somerset Film assistant producer Laura said: "We are thrilled to offer this workshop to young photographers in Somerset.
"Our goal is to provide an engaging experience that helps participants develop confidence in their photography skills, gain valuable insights from an industry professional, and use professional equipment."
Joss Barratt is known for his work in film, television, and documentary production, with his images often featuring on film posters.
All necessary equipment will be provided.
