Join us for this interactive workshop with Still Life Photographer Amy Curell. In this workshop, you’ll be taught about what photographers expect from assistants, what you should expect on set and what skills you might need.

You’ll then have the opportunity to practice these skills on set with Amy, photographing some products. It will be an opportunity to gain advice assisting and how to get assisting roles, whilst learning techniques and skills on product photography.

The workshop will run from 12.30 to 15.30.

 

Biography

Photographer and Director Amy Currell was born in East London, where she lives and works. Her still life photography and moving image is shot through a distinctively female lens, and each frame is composed with thoughtfulness and grace – artfully juxtaposing colour and texture, shape and shadow.

Expanding in her role as a Director, Amy works with the newest motion control cameras to give any moving image elements of the work an edge, giving the same poise and polish to her film that you’ll find in her photography.

Amy is highly sought after in the commercial world by clients who value beauty, and the context of their products in carefully choreographed composition, and these have included - Ikea, Vogue, Selfridges, Liberty London, Tatler, Bvlgari, and London Art Fair.

Amy also holds the prodigious position of UK Brand Ambassador for Leica.
