Boosting Photographic Creativity Workshop

This one day workshop gives participants an unusual opportunity to examine all aspects of the ways they think about their photography, examines a lot of alternative viewpoints and allows them to take conscious control over their thinking.

This course has been a sell-out at the Daylseford Foto Biennale and the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. Happy participants have ranged from people who have just bought a serious camera to long-time professionals wanting a new perspective on their work. It is a great workshop for anyone who is feeling in a rut with their photography, who wants to loosen up and expand their work, making it more creative and enjoyable in the process.

Workshop runs 10am to 4.30pm

• The comfort zone, what it is, how it holds you back and why you want to be just outside it
