On location with Astrid – March 2012

 

Astrid Harrisson gives you the opportunity to learn about  your camera and subjects in unique surroundings.

 

“A whinny on the breeze, thundering hooves and kicked up dust on a setting sun are truly emotive and sensual moments in nature; moments of magic within which nature communicates on a multi-layered level; moments that are born at the crossroads of inspiration, vision and awareness. Photography is a tool enabling us to encapsulate such moments so that we might share them with others.

We offer you a rare opportunity to go on a journey to this mythical address: join Horse Photographer Astrid Harrisson and Equus Coach Kelly Eide on a day photographing horses in nature. Not only will you develop a deeper understanding of the subtleties of animal communication and develop a better relationship with your camera and photographic equipment, but you will also learn to understand the importance of heightened awareness of the moment – a powerful tool that can help you capture a perfectly magical image before it even happens.

Following this spend a studio-based ‘post-production’ day at Dubai’s Majlis Gallery, allowing necessary time to explore your captured material by processing and transforming your most magical of moments into finished photographs”

Astrid Harrisson
