Using the vibrant local settings of Church Street and Edgware Road, ‘A Day in NW8’ will explore how urban landscapes can naturally lend themselves as engaging backdrops for portraits. The participants will capture both one another and willing members of the public in the area. With a focus on colour and framing, the workshop aims to show how one can create captivating portraits using tools and sites easily available at their disposal.
