The Day in the Life of a City workshop series invites photographers to challenge themselves to document the events, landscape and people that they meet in cities in Europe over the next year. The best work produced will be showcased in a city exhibition in 2008. I hope you take the opportunity to become part of the ‘City Shooters’ team.
The Annual Summer School on the Dingle Peninsula is now an established event for passionate photographers who are looking to build their skills increase their portfolio of images and take away with them inspiration and the magic of the Blasket Island.

Participants can expect Documentary Photography Courses to involve:
- Photographing in different locations to capture the unique beauty of each place.
- Working to a shot list and specific assignments
- Gaining increased technical understanding of their camera system and exposure
- Increasing composition skills
- Learning the value of light in the making of beautiful photographs
- Editing work in preparation for an exhibition or a portfolio
- Workflow and Archiving images
Participants will build the confidence to:
- Photograph people naturally in their environment
- Make connections with the local community
- Create a vision around their own work
- Photograph events
- Work with ambient light
 At the end of the workshop each student will take away a number of excellent images that will demonstrate their creativity and encourage them to continue enjoying the thrill and challenge of photography.
Ideally you will need to bring:
- Camera
- Tripod
- Cable release
- Spare batteries
- Sensor cleaning kit
- Camera manual
- Battery Charger, rechargeable batteries
- Laptop computer loaded with Adobe Photoshop CS
- Card reader
- External hard drive
- Extra Memory cards
- All weather clothing
Workshops will give inexperienced photographers the opportunity to use their camera effectively, gain an understanding of how the camera works, become familiar with all its functions and eliminate commonly made mistakes. Participants can expect to see a real difference in their images by the end of the workshop and feel confident about using their camera in the future.
Photographers with intermediate photography skills and an SLR camera system will become conversant with all the functions of their camera, fully understand the technicalities of photography and increase their ability to compose beautiful images in a variety of outstanding locations.
Advanced Photographers who have little time to devote to their interest will find that workshops offer the space and inspiration to hone skills, review their work and spend time on location free to shoot and capture the 'decisive moment.'
