Canary Wharf Winter Lights Smartphone Photography Class

Learn how to photograph stunning winter lights with your smartphone camera!



2 hours Location Canary Wharf Class size 1 to 5 (public classes), 3 to 20   £65

The iconic Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival is back for its 11th year! This year the theme is RE(IMAGINE).
Going into its second decade, the theme of RE(IMAGINE) is an opportunity to see this iconic area of London a little differently; through the lens of colour, movement, projection and sound, turning familiar streets, parks and waterways into otherworldly spaces full of light and wonder. The theme invites artists and audiences to explore new possibilities, transforming how we experience public space, whilst conjuring hopeful futures and alternative realities. RE(IMAGINE) alludes to the act of revisiting, reusing, recycling, perhaps returning to an idea or thought and realising it anew, grounding these fantastical ideas in the real-world. In this way, it is hoped it inspires artistic freedom and experimentation, whilst also creating a space for visitor reflection.
Wrap up warm, bring your smartphone, and learn how to photograph in low light against the stunning backdrop of Canary Wharf. At the end of the class, we will look at editing our photos using Snapseed. As this event is only available for a limited time, there are only four dates available to book.
Guided by an experienced local photographer, you'll marvel at the stunning illuminated light installations by night.
Whether you're after unique gifts for an adventurous friend or an evening out with a difference, this Winter Lights photography class is a brilliant way to see Canary Wharf from a new perspective.
Your enthusiastic guide will also be on hand to offer handy editing hints, including how to make the most of your favourite shots using an intuitive, free photo editing app.
