Ultimately, the afternoon session aims to better prepare those who want to go in for the festival\u2019s photography competition, which gives entrants the chance to win a gift voucher for a camera store courtesy of competition sponsor Child Care Bureau<\/a>, which provides vital services county-wide.<\/p>\n Masterclass leader and accomplished gig photographer Mark Hoy, who won the Worcester Music Festival competition in 2009 and has been a judge for three years, said: \u201cThis action-packed workshop is for beginner and intermediate photographers who want to learn how to use their camera more effectively and, ultimately, take better photos at this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be some technical stuff, but the emphasis will be on taking and creating photos under different lighting conditions and when light is poor, as is often the case, when to use and not use the flash, tips on where to stand and what to look for, etiquette, and the chance to get feedback.<\/p>\n \u201cTo take part, you don\u2019t need an SLR, but please bring your camera manual if you are unsure of how to work your camera, and we can help you change your camera settings at the workshop. Also, if participants have an external flash, it would be useful to bring it along.\u201d<\/p>\n At this year\u2019s pre-festival workshop, participants will get to practice their skills on local hip-hoppers Calm Like A Riot<\/strong>, roots-rock singer-songwriter Wes Dance<\/strong>, and sensational singer, keyboardist and guitarist Tina V<\/strong>, who made number one in Reverbnation\u2019s top 10 UK artists\u2019 chart this month.<\/p>\n To register your free place on the live music photography workshop, please complete our online workshop registration form <\/a>or email photo@worcestermusicfestival.co.uk<\/a> with your name, email address and camera make \/ model, specifying if it\u2019s a compact or a DSLR.<\/p>\n There is a limit of 30 places available, so book your place early to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n [button color=”green” size=”big” alignment=”none” rel=”follow” openin=”samewindow” url=”https:\/\/www.worcestermusicfestival.co.uk\/featureswhats-on\/workshops\/live-music-photography-workshop\/”]Register for the Live Music Photography Workshop[\/button]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Looking ahead, entries for this year\u2019s Worcester Music Festival photography competition must be uploaded by Sunday, September 14<\/strong>, with an exhibition taking place at Worcester Arts Workshop prior to a prize giving ceremony on Sunday, September 28<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Worcester Music Festival is inviting intrepid snappers who want an edge in its annual photography competition at the three-day event in August to take a shot and join a free masterclass this month.
