Landscape Photography
WHAT IS LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY?
Landscape Photography is the discipline of photographing the outdoors and the world around. Often the term refers to nature photography e.g. photography of the countryside. Landscape photography contains several branches, each with their own subject matter e.g. Seascapes, Cityscapes, Skyscapes. Read More…Less
In its most basic form a landscape photograph captures the view for others to later experience, and in effect see what the photographer saw. It is desirable, where possible, to elevate the photograph to one that portrays what was also experienced at the time and to build an emotional connection between the viewer and the photo.
Styles can vary significantly, with representational “as seen” photography at one end of the spectrum and more abstract representation at the other that starts to blur the line between landscape photography and abstract photography.
Matt approaches the landscape by identifying the main hook; it could be as simple as the feeling a landscape gives. Next comes the difficult bit! Which compositional elements best portray that feeling? Now, how can all the other noise in the landscape be arranged or removed so not to detract?
THE SUSSEX LANDSCAPE
takes in the chalky hills of the South Downs threading its way across the county, ancient woodland and many scenes to be savoured, such as; bluebell woods, iron age forts and Roman roads. The selection of Sussex photos is also joined by images from across the South of England.

Matt was not only very knowledgeable but able to put this across in a manner that my daughter easily understood (even I a non-photographer did!). He was well prepared and we were given a handout with all the info discussed so we could refer back to tit and after a quick try out of what we had learnt on hove seafront he also kindly said that we could always contact him if we got stuck or had a quick question he could answer via email.
Overall a great 2 hours, good value for money and would 100% recommend booking a lesson or 2. Thanks Matt I'm sure we'll be back for another lesson.

Matt is friendly and engaging, able to break down complex technical details into manageable and easy-to-understand chunks for novice photographers. He also goes out of his way to answer any questions you might have and provide additional materials if needed. Really enjoyed my sessions with him and highly recommend his courses/lessons for anyone interested in taking their photography to the next level. Thanks again for everything Matt! read less

It brings the countryside to my home in a way that a painting, however accomplished it is, can never do. It brightens my home. read less
