We are very fortunate to have Master Photographer (AIPP), Dale Neill, a renowned and enthusiastic professional photographer, educator and judge, present a portraiture workshop to our group on Thursday 3 October.

 

Dale commenced his photography teaching in 1973 at TAFE. He was a leading photography presenter of short courses at UWA Extension for two decades and ran a portrait studio in East Fremantle for seven years. Also, his teaching included the leadership of numerous international photographic tours, countless workshops and mentoring.

 

Dale loves to teach and mentor and share his photography skills and experiences, which have benefited the development of many professional and amateur photographers.

 

Dale has many national and state photographic awards. From his coverage of the 2004, Indian Ocean (Indonesia), Boxing Day Tsunami he was awarded the WA Professional Photographer of the Year.

 

In the planned “The Man in the Photograph” workshop, Dale will cover the essential techniques for taking successful portraits.

 

This will be a hands-on workshop utilizing the available light and environment of the shed.
