LEADING A WORKSHOP DAY WITH DESIGNERS AT ARTS UNIVERSITY BOURNEMOUTH

On another of my visits to The Arts University at Bournemouth I led a workshop for the designers. I began the day by letting the groups pick at random, various animals and situations/set ideas from a hat. The teams had £10 to spend in charity shops, they had the costume store to use, and a day to complete a set and costume appropriate for a promotional shot for a theatre production of Alice In wonderland. It was a mad day but every group got there and we had a really great photoshoot at the end of it!
The shots we ended up working on were............
