This practical mini 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 look at specific Lee Miller works in the exhibition and introduce you to relevant photographic techniques before you apply these insights to your own work.
Over the course of the session, you will have fun experimenting with new techniques in the gallery spaces with expert guidance from Marianne Holm Hansen.
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.
