We've just launched something very exciting at Make It Easy that we hope you'll love. It's all about diving deeper into photography and learning how to make pictures, instead of simply taking them.
So what is it?
We've created a brand new Instagram subscription course that will help you become a better photographer.
Every week, we'll release a new video focusing on an area of photography that will bring light to areas such as composition, capturing the moment and sequencing your images.
We'll go through our extensive photobook library with you, sharing work from a diverse range of photographers, in order to better understand how to make images.
We'll also share interviews with incredible photographers from Nottingham and beyond, getting an insight into how they work and how you can use those tips in your own practice.
What will I learn?
Each week we'll focus on a different topic and use a photographer to help us learn. For instance, our first video (which is free for everyone - see below!) was about how Lee Friedlander compresses the space in an image to tell stories, and how you can use those techniques in your own work.
Other lessons include how you can create 'photo games' to start a project, how to photograph somewhere that is very familiar to you, and how to sequence your images to tell a story.
It's an interactive course, so we'd love for you to share the work you make in response to the videos. Tag us and use #makeiteasy when you upload on Instagram so we can see what you've made!
We've got so much to talk about and so many amazing photographers on our bookshelves, so we can't wait to share it all with you!
How do I sign up?
It's super easy! Just head over to our Instagram page and click 'Subscribe' near the top of the page.
Once you're signed up, you'll get access to all of our previous lessons, as well as our new weekly content.
We can't wait to see you over there!
