Workshop: Storytelling through Photography with Chris Siu

Details

When: Saturday, April 20, 12:30-3:30pm

Where: The Exhibition Space at The Mill, 154 Angas Street, Kaurna Yarta, Adelaide

Cost: $33 (+booking fee)

Join artist Chris Siu for a walking photography workshop. Learn about Chris’s approach to crafting narratives through sequences of photographs, focusing on the development of a visual language rather than individual images. Bring your own digital camera (camera phone, digital camera) and take a walk along Angas Street to the iconic Central Markets, collecting images and building a narrative.

What to expect: 

The workshop will start at The Mill on Angas Street with an introduction from Chris and an opportunity to view his exhibition Riot on an Empty Street. Participants will be given the opportunity to devise a ‘mood’ or ‘theme’ for their series before walking with the group along Angas Street to the Central Markets on Gouger Street. Participants will spend some time taking photos on their own devices, focusing on everyday life and following intuition. We will then return to The Mill for refreshments and to share with the group. The workshop will include an opportunity to chat about the photographs taken and to share the stories and narratives created through the photographic series. 

Experience level: 

No experience necessary. Participants must bring their own digital camera and must know how to operate it (no technical support will be provided about camera settings etc.) Some walking is required, please get in touch if you have any accessibility questions.
