Join international photojournalist, Greg Locke, for this two day workshop at The Twine Loft in the historic community of Trinity, Newfoundland and the surrounding coastal villages and seascapes.
You will get the opportunity to learn and practice travel, documentary, adventure, landscape, seascape and portrait photography in the historic community of Trinity, Newfoundland.
At the heart of any good photograph is both the passion for the subject and your ability to uniquely capture it. If you love the outdoors, travel, adventure and documentary photography yet find that your images keep looking like average postcards, join Greg Locke for a weekend of learning how to look at the natural and human environment with fresh new eyes. This workshop strives to develop your natural eye first, and then bring the technical skills of photography up to it. You will spend as much time changing your perspective, sharpening your senses, and immersing yourself in your surroundings as you will on developing new photographic skills.
Trinity, Newfoundland is a magical place. Spring time icebergs, whales, historic fishing villages, stunning coastal scenery and wonderful people. The light and changing weather will take your breath away with its purity and brilliance. You will understand why film makers chose this area for major motion pictures such as The Shipping News and Random Passage.
Greg Locke has been a working photojournalist for more than 20 years with publication credits in Macleans, Time, Forbes, Canadian Geographic, Equinox, Mens Health, Utne Reader, Canadian Business, Globe & mail, der Spiegel and many other national and international publications. His assignments have taken him from the offshore oil fields of the North Atlantic to the civil wars of The Balkans and the conflicts in Central Africa.
Locke has three books of his work published, the most recent, NEWFOUNDLAND ...journey into a lost nation with Michael Crummey, is a stunning collection of Locke's work in Newfoundland over the past decade.
