Fashion Workshop for Photography 4

As you may be aware we are running a number of specialist workshops in Photography 4. They will most likely include Food, Vehicles, Aerial, Furniture and Fashion. As in previous years, Sydney photographer Andrew Gash will be running a fashion workshop just for Photography 4 students. Normally that would happen a few weeks into the semester but this year Andrew will be in Canberra to run a public fashion shoot as part of the National Portrait Gallery's celebration of fashion photography through the 'Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008' exhibition which runs until August 30th. This shoot will happen at the NPG on Saturday August 1st.

As you also know your scheduled class times are Wednesdays and Thursdays, although exact attendance times are currently being arranged around workshop requirements. However, since Andrew is going to be in town for the Saturday NPG shoot we have negotiated a Photography 4 workshop with him on Friday July 31st (all day). It just wasn't possible for him to come down on Wednesday or Thursday as well, hope you understand.

As well as running the workshop for the entire Photography 4 group on the Friday, Andrew will choose a number of students to assist him on the Saturday National Portrait Gallery shoot. This could be a fantastic opportunity for those really interested in fashion photography.

How do you get chosen, that's really up to Andrew but my best guess is that he will choose people who demonstrate skill, enthusiasm, initiative and above all a professional attitude during the Photography 4 Workshop.

At this stage your first Photography 4 class will be that Friday, July 31st at 10:00am. We will keep you informed of progress during the coming week.
