Description

Join this photography workshop led by Eva Palazuelos, designed specifically for Leica users looking to enhance their photography skills. Whether you are just getting started as a photographer or you are well-experienced, this course is crafted to take your photography to the next level. 
You will delve into Eva Palazuelos’ approach, which integrates a fusion of camera technique, composition, and creativity to refine your unique vision.
The workshop comprises 2 sessions of 2.5 hours each, held at Aperture UK in London. It accommodates a small group of 6 to 8 participants, providing ample opportunity for individual feedback. You will immerse yourself in theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience both indoors and outdoors.
All you need to bring is your Leica digital camera. During the sessions, you will learn to master your camera’s manual mode, taking control of the decision-making process and unlocking your creative potential. By placing decision-making in your hands, rather than relying solely on your camera, Eva will guide you in gaining full control over your photography, allowing you to develop your personal perspective.

 

Testimonials

“It was good, interesting, insightful, inspiring, a long way to go, thanks.”

“Just thought I would thank you for teaching me manual settings on my camera. It truly changed my photography and has had the biggest influence on me. I have been to many workshops and the time I was with you taught me so much. Know that your time spent teaching me has had a huge impact on my life.”

“A great experience, suitable for all levels starting from basic technique, always oriented towards how to use that technique to convey emotions through your photos. You practice creativity from the first day by setting challenges and coherence in your work. Every day you discuss the work of the previous day. In a short time, the improvement is noticeable.”

“It might sound cliché when I say that Eva has managed to convey her love and sensitivity for photography with simplicity and dedication. I needed a course that would teach me the technique, explain the why of light, how to make the correct measurements, how to apply it in every situation, and how to achieve effects, depth, and vanishing points. Whenever there's an opportunity, I will certainly repeat another course with Eva Palazuelos.”
