For this workshop, we’ll explore Kelham Island, one of Sheffield’s most fascinating and photogenic areas. Once the heart of the city’s steel industry, it’s now a thriving creative hub full of contrasts — cobbled streets and converted warehouses, independent cafés and colourful murals, historic bridges and reflections on the River Don. There’s no shortage of textures, tones and stories to photograph.
The Urban Landscapes Workshop includes three parts:
Online Group Training Session – an interactive Zoom presentation held a few days before (usually the Wednesday around 6.30pm). We’ll cover camera settings, composition, and exposure tips to help you create striking urban images. The session is recorded for anyone who can’t attend live or wants a refresher.
In-Person Photowalk – we’ll meet outside the Kelham Island Museum for a fun and relaxed 3½-hour photo walk, starting at 9am. We’ll explore the area’s industrial heritage and modern edge, giving you plenty of opportunities to practise what you’ve learned.
One-to-One Photo Review – after the workshop, you’ll have the chance to send in some of your images for a personal online review and feedback session.A tripod isn’t essential — being able to move freely, crouch low or change your viewpoint will help you capture more creative compositions.
Previous Experience:To get the most from this workshop, you should have attended our Beginner’s Photography Course or be familiar with using Aperture Priority, Exposure Compensation, and ISO.
Please note: Kelham Island’s charm lies in its historic character, which includes uneven ground and cobbled streets. These features make for wonderfully textured and atmospheric photographs, but may not be suitable for everyone. Comfortable footwear is essential, and we’ll take our time exploring at a relaxed pace.
Joining Instructions:Full details, including the Zoom link and meeting information for the Photowalk, will be sent out nearer the time.
