Abstract Photography - Docklands at 10am
Abstract photography is about breaking the rules and allowing us see things in a way that we wouldn’t normally see. Abstract photos can be created both in-camera and through editing, but today we’re going to be looking at our in-camera techniques.

Complete beginner? We recommend starting with the Photography for Beginners Class, which is a 3 hour structured workshop where you’ll learn the basics of using your camera with more 1-on-1 time with the instructor.
Looking to learn more? Come along to the group sessions, which are more casual and informal than other workshops, and with more time to take photos and put your new skills into practice.
What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the fortnight’s theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!

Storytelling Photography - Arts Centre Melbourne at 10am
Storytelling photography is the art of capturing a scene or a passage of time in a series of frames. When these frames are presented together as a photo story, one after the other, sometimes as a collage or an album, they can tell a story in a much more emotive way than a single shot can.

I love the photo sessions with Alli. I always leave having learnt something new. She obviously puts a lot of time and effort into planning the sessions and often provides us with a print out cheat sheet we can refer to. Feedback she gives is always positive but constructive and she is full of helpful suggestions to help us improve our skills outside of the group.
