Join us for an introduction to landscape photography with artist and lecturer Marianne Holm Hansen

This practical one-day workshop invites you to explore and develop your landscape photography in relation to Tate Modern and its urban location. We will draw inspiration from how artists and photographers from the Tate Collection have approached and extended the genre of landscape. We will introduce the technical aspects of landscape photography before you apply these insights and techniques 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 landscape photography in the city and beyond.

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.
Please note this workshop will also include some time outside of the gallery, please do bring suitable clothing.
