If you have a passion for the evocative magic of Long Exposure B&W landscape photography, don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the contemporary masters. Michael Levin's soulful and evocative B&W images express the essence of the landscapes he photographs and this 2-day workshop will take you on an intimate tour of Michael's workflow from selecting locations through to the making of his final award winning prints.
During the weekend Michael will cover topics from how he selects locations to the successful marketing of fine art photography to galleries and book publishers.
Saturday morning will kick off with a presentation and discussion with Michael about his work and approach to image making. Participants will see first hand what goes into the making of his award winning images.
Saturday and Sunday afternoon, Michael will conduct 20 minute individual portfolio reviews offering constructive critical advise along with comments on how each photographer can market their work.
