MEMBER OFFER: Travel Photography Masterclass, Bali 9-16 September 2018    This programme, led by veteran travel photographer and ex-marine Noel Marcantel, covers street, portrait, landscape, and nature photography, and gives unique access to ‘off the beaten track’ experiences. Noel will take you step-by-step through approaching and appraising a scene, finding atypical perspectives, capturing your ideal frame, and post-processing your images to fulfil their most engaging potential. The blend of classroom instruction, on-location guided shooting, live post-processing demonstrations, and image critique will enable you to fast-track your learning and see immediate results in the improvement of your technique and captures.    As well as in-depth technical and creative instruction, this masterclass also explores the role of the travel photographer in depth: how to engage with the real Bali, the ethics of travel photography, techniques for imagistic storytelling, and more.

It will examine the crossovers and exchanges between philosophical aesthetics, political and social art practices, as well as artistic production, and a new generation of computational aesthetics. The conference will bring together academics, artists, students and professionals working in imaging or with images in artistic and scientific fields, with a view to fostering the exchange of knowledge and ideas in the field of art/science aesthetics.  It is organized by the Computational Vision and Imaging Technologies Research Group (School of Computer Science and Engineering) and the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) (Westminster School of Arts) of the University of Westminster, in collaboration with the IET’s Vision and Imaging Network and the Imaging Science Group of the Royal Photographic Society.
