Event Details

This event has been cancelled because no-one signed up. Which is fair enough.

 

We will figure out what people are interested in and try something else.  


Come and learn about Through The Viewfinder photography and make your own contraption at Fizzpop's TTV Workshop.

 

Local artist-photographer Pete Ashton has been shooting TTV photos since discovering the technique in 2006 and offers you the chance to make your own. Not only will you have a weird-assed hunk of vintage camera, cardboard and gaffer-tape to point your camera through, you'll also learn interesting and exciting things about the very nature of photography. 

  • Thrill to the possibilities of analogue manipulation of images before they hit the camera sensor!
  • Gasp at the shocking idiocy of the Auto setting!
  • Shudder at the creative possibilities of limitations!
  • Wonder at the improvement in your composition through slowing the hell down!

You'll learn the how and why, built your own contraption, shoot some photos, process and review them and go away ready and able to join the Experimental Photography Community.

 

The workshop costs £16 per person lasts for 3 hours on Saturday September 10th at Faraday Warf, Aston Science Park

(If you would rather pay by cash or cheque, please get in touch.)

 

You can bring your own vintage camera to contraptionise (Kodak Duaflex or similar is recommended), buy one on the day for £20 or borrow one. Cardboard and tape will be provided. 

You will need to bring a digital camera that is capable of taking photos up to 30cm away (macro setting).

There will be computers available for processing your images but feel free to bring your own laptop. (Faraday Warf is a secure building but this is at your own risk.)

 

For more details or any questions please contact Pete at peteashton@gmail.com

 

This event is run in associaltion with FizzPop, a group looking to develop a permanent space for Birmingham's hacker communities. A third of the fee will go towards their funds.
