Using Len Lye’s kinetic sculptures as subject matter, this workshop will explore using long exposures and slow shutter speeds to capture the movement in the sculptures and compose images with motion.

Long exposure photographs capture time to present the world in a completely different way.  

Are you interested in, yet struggle to capture beautiful long exposure photographs? In a long exposure photo, the world looks completely different from how you see it with your eyes, and Len Lye’s kinetic sculptures take on a whole new meaning.

Through this photographic style that involves using long exposures or slow shutter speeds, explore how we visualise and experience Len Lye’s sculpture and how he composed with motion.

Long exposure photography isn’t especially gear intensive. You need a camera, you can even get away with using a smartphone. But you definitely, one-hundred percent do need a tripod. Join us in this workshop that will introduce you to a new way of taking photos.
