Programme Highlights

This workshop is open to all camera and smartphone users.

14:00-15:00   Guided Heritage Tour of PMQ

15:00-17:00   Photography Workshop by Professional Photographer

One of the spirit of photography is to capture the precious moment and things, so that we can learn from the past and get ready for the future. With the advancement of technology, photography nowadays is easily accessible, from smartphones to DSLR cameras.

This workshop aims to combine heritage and photography so participants can learn to capture the precious moment with their own perspective. 

In this programme, participants will learn about the diverse historical and cultural background of the PMQ on a guided tour through 7 historical spots led by PMQ’s docent. It is then followed by a photo workshop taught by a professional photographer to learn some general rules on how to take good pictures, such as the use of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Participants can immediately put theory into practice as they will re-visit some of the historical spots, where they can capture the buildings and architecture from unique perspectives in a professional way. In addition, through visiting historical heritages, participants will be able to understand more about the heritage and culture behind, as well as the different ways of preservation.
