Age 14+

This two-part skate photography workshop will equip participants with the essential skills needed to capture dynamic skateboarding moments, using mobile devices like iPads and phones.

Please bring a mobile device with you if you have one. A small number of devices are available to use from the Gallery.

 

Day 2: Practical Session (October 5th at Exist Skatepark) 

This second session is all about putting theory into practice. Participants will head to the skatepark, where they’ll photograph real skaters in action. Here, they’ll apply: 

  • Action Photography Techniques: Capturing the energy and movement of skaters in a fast-paced, real-world environment. 
  • Composition and Timing: Finding the right moments to shoot for impactful images. 
  • Engaging with the Skatepark Environment: Learning how to safely navigate the space, anticipate movement, and work with skaters to get the best shots. 

By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed a portfolio of skate photography and the confidence to pursue action/sports photography on their own.
