This practical half-day workshop takes its inspiration from the Lee Miller exhibition to explore the potential of avant-garde and surrealist photography in relation to Tate Britain and its collection displays. We will examine Miller’s work across still life, portraiture and landscape and introduce you to relevant photographic techniques before you apply these insights to your own work.
Over the course of the session, you will build up the introductory skills needed to fine-tune or get you started with avant-garde and surrealist photography.
This session is for people aged 16 and over. It is suitable for photographers at all levels, including beginners. Participants must bring their own digital camera or camera phone. A digital SLR camera is recommended, but not essential.
