By studying and practicing four essential compositional elements, you’ll gain a clear understanding of what makes a photograph compelling and how to create stronger, more expressive images.
Workshop Program
Part 1: See Like a Photographer
Explore a curated selection of striking images to uncover what makes great composition work and learn how to apply those principles, no matter what camera you use.
Part 2: Guided Photowalk
Grab your camera or smartphone and join us on guided creative walk through Porto’s vibrant Baixa arts district. Practice seeing, framing, and capturing compelling images in real time.
Part 3: Peer Review & Image Selection
Back in the studio, share your shots in a relaxed group review. Together, we’ll select your strongest image — the one that best captures a key compositional element.
Part 4: Editing in Action
Learn with Mark his editing process — subtle tweaks in tone, color, and crop that elevate an image while staying true to the original vision.
Part 5: Your Finished Fine Art Print
After the workshop, Mark will personally edit and print your best photograph as an A5 fine art print on premium paper. Return to the gallery a few days later to collect your finished piece — your own composition, professionally crafted.
