SUMMARY:Capture the Extraordinary
DESCRIPTION:Capture the Extraordinary: Steampunk Photography Workshop in Oamaru \n\n\n\nStep into the unique world of Victorian-inspired sci-fi and futuristic fantasy with our exclusive 2.5-day themed street and event photography workshop\, set amidst the iconic annual Oamaru Steampunk Festival! This workshop is designed to immerse photographers of all levels in the vibrant\, surreal scenes of NZ’s largest annual official steampunk event\, across multiple venues – from street parades and night markets\, to off-camera flash portraiture\, to closeup street and event photography. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Highlights: \n\n\n\n\nStreet Photography Techniques: Learn how to capture those special spontaneous ‘decisive’ moments during a real-life cosplay parade; eye-catching compositions; and the fascinating details that make street photography so compelling.\n\n\n\nBe exposed (pun intended) to both night and day time photographic opportunities where you are an official ‘Event Photographer’\, and your subjects are willing participants in the visual extravaganza that is Steampunk.\n\n\n\nMultiple opportunities will be available to take festival goers portraits and then sell them.\n\n\n\nHands-On Instruction & Feedback: With expert guidance\, you’ll receive personalised tips on framing\, lighting\, and compositional storytelling to bring out the character of this unique festival\, and most importantly\, its people.\n\n\n\nExplore Oamaru’s unique historic precinct with its distinctive Forrester and Lemon designed stone buildings\, set against the backdrop of Oamaru’s Victorian architecture and harbour. Each shot combining modern creativity with historic charm. \n\n\n\nSteampunk Style & Character Portraits: Perfect your portrait skills as you photograph festival-goers dressed in elaborate costumes\, from neo-Victorian characters to sci-fi creations.\n\n\n\nGet a taste of some of the intricacies of product photography as you catalogue competition entries.\n\n\n\nWorking in small teams rotated across multiple venues\, each participant will be exposed to various facets of street and event photography and will be granted preferential access as ‘official event photographers.’\n\n\n\n\nYour tutor for this weekend long degustation of photographic opportunities is Oamaru born and raised Ted Grenfell\, an award winning professional photographer now based in Dunedin. As Ted says “The world of photography would be meaningless without light\, colour and emotion to help open our minds to express passion and love for each other.” Ted will guide you to capture all three on this unique photography workshop as you work with both festival organisers and participants to provide unique photographic memories for festival-goers. \n\n\n\nAll attendees on this workshop will be acting as official event photographers for the festival and will therefore be granted unprecedented access to events and backstage locations. Something previously only available to a select few. Photographs from the PSNZ team will be widely shared with the organisers and Steampunk community and distributed (with credit) on social media both during and after the event. \n\n\n\nPhotographers retain rights to their work and will be given credit for their photographs. There will be many opportunities for images taken to be sold to festival-goers\, with previous year’s attendees expressing interest in such a service as part of our partnership with festival organisers in 2025. We may directly facilitate this for you\, or show you how you can set this up for yourself. \n\n\n\nThe workshop fee is $300. Please note that you need to provide your own accommodation. \n\n\n\nAll meals will be at your own expensive with many options available at the festival\, both formal and casual dining. An early Saturday evening group dinner has already been booked at Oamaru’s oldest cafe & restaurant\, the iconic Star and Garter\, in the historic precinct. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will take place over King’s birthday weekend and will start at 3pm on Friday 30th May and conclude around 2pm on Monday 2nd June. \n\n\n\nBased right at the heart of the festival in the Whitestone Civic Trust building\, attendees will be given daily briefings on events and are also encouraged to attend the optional final ceremony Steampunk breakfast on Monday morning to raise money for breast cancer before returning to the conference room for a wrap- up discussion. \n\n\n\nTime will also be made for group sessions in the Civic Trust building for workshop participants to share their work and gain insight in to Ted’s workflow for processing event images from capture\, through to sale. A medium level of fitness will be required as this is a busy festival and the boardroom for the group briefing sessions is up a flight of stairs. Days will commence with workshop sessions and finish with photographing the freakshow\, mess dinner and Victorian ball on the respective evenings. \n\n\n\nOnce you have registered and paid\, you will receive more in depth information on the schedule and locations as well as a recommended gear sheet. The workshop is limited to 10 people.  \n\n\n\nSign up now to secure your spot for a themed street and event photographic experience unlike any other!  \n\n\n\nLog into the Member’s Area to register for this workshop.
