‘Look Up’ photography is an innovative and captivating approach to capturing moments through the lens of a camera. Led by the skilled Product Specialist, Jere Chong, this photography workshop encourages participants to explore the art of observation and discovery by shifting their perspective skyward.

In this engaging session, participants will be guided to break away from the usual routine of focusing solely on what lies in front of them. Instead, they will be encouraged to cast their gaze upwards, immersing themselves in a world of hidden wonders that often go unnoticed.

One of the primary aspects emphasized in ‘Look Up’ photography is photometry—the art of harnessing and manipulating light to create stunning visual effects. Jere delve into the intricacies of utilizing natural light sources, such as the sun, and clouds to enhance the composition and narrative of a photograph.

Furthermore, framing composition will be a key focus of the workshop. Jere shared techniques and strategies to effectively frame subjects against the expansive canvas of the sky.

The concept of negative spaces will also be explored in ‘Look Up’ photography. Participants will learn how to use the open sky as a creative backdrop, allowing subjects to stand out and take center stage in their images.

In summary, ‘Look Up’ photography is a transformative experience that encourages photographers to broaden their horizons and explore new dimensions of creativity. By incorporating the principles of photometry, framing composition, and negative spaces, participants will acquire a fresh perspective, enabling them to capture captivating and thought-provoking images that truly stand out.

All photos were taken using the Fujifilm GFX50sII and GF20-35mmF4 R WR
