A Three day, project based retreat with a special workshop session led by Wendy Bagnall

 

Focussing primarily on ICM photography, Mark and Shona will gently coach and guide you on all the processes, techniques and considerations they both apply to their own work, teaching you all there is to know about making impactful and ethereal abstract images.

The vast scale of West Wittering also offers potential for exploring a variety of abstract techniques and you will be encouraged to experiment with multiple exposures, more intimate scenes, colour, shape and texture. 

To support this further, there will be a special workshop session led by the wonderfully talented Wendy Bagnall. Wendy's approach is unrestrictive, and often with an abstract quality, creating pieces that aim to evoke and emotional connection with the viewer.
