Curated and led by CTRL+CREATE’s cohort mentor Safeen James, you’ll explore angles, framing, directing subjects, and building mood and atmosphere.

Safeen will begin by looking at examples of photography with strong storytelling. Then, you’ll move into short exercises to define your message and develop visual references using sketches or existing imagery.

Following this, it will be time to experiment and shoot within two styled spring set-ups. Your captured images will be shared with you after the workshop.

No prior experience needed, we invite both beginner and advanced photographers to join.

What we’ll cover

• Understanding storytelling through composition
• Choosing angles, framing, and image structure
• Developing a narrative and defining your message
• Using visual references to guide your shoot
• Working with props, styling, and set design
• Creating atmosphere with spring-inspired elements (flowers, fabrics, textures)
• Bringing your concept to life through practical shooting (all equipment provided)
