Water Stories: Photographing Waterways - Fostering Connections

Waterways shape landscapes, sustain biodiversity and communities, and hold deep cultural and historical significance. Yet their ecological and social values are often difficult to convey visually. 

This workshop explores photography as a tool for revealing the character and complexity of waterways, documenting environmental change, supporting science and management, and communicating landscape values. 

Participants will learn how to capture the forms, dynamic processes and habitats of waterways along with their connections to people, place, and the wider landscape. 

This highly interactive workshop combines theory, critique, practical sessions and fieldwork to assist participants to improve both their technical and creative skills.

It is designed for Landcarers, scientists, environmental professionals, educators, artists, conservation practitioners, and the wider general public – anyone interested in waterways and landscapes. People with all levels of knowledge and skill are welcome.

The workshop is presented by professional environmental photographer and ecologist, Dr Alison Pouliot.
