Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

I started learning about Dot Mandala Art at the end of last year, and the more I created, the more I became addicted to it. Creating this art has been incredibly therapeutic for my mind. I began with small pieces, and this particular artwork is the largest piece I've made so far( 45cm)It took me about 12 hours to complete.

Hello, My name is Sandra Sanchez. The background on this particular art piece is quite interesting . I had just gotten a new sketch pad, and I wanted the first page to eye opening. I wanted a piece from the heart, something my audience would feel. I wanted this pic to be something I would feel every time I felt like giving up . I lost my older, and only brother to cancer. Shortly after , I lost my Grandmother who raised me suddenly. Each day is a struggle without my brother, and my Nana . I love

I even knocked on it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Ever since I've had a fascination for old abandoned places and the stories they could tell. As I work on a painting like this one, Mountain Top Splendor, I usually can't help developing a story about it. The home was once occupied by a veteran of the great war, who sough peace and serenity with his
