The hidden wonders of East London
- a 4 day photography workshop with ASA collective 

Venture through the streets and lanes once inhabited by the famous murderer Jack the Ripper and a decadent British society of the turn of the century, wander an area that throughout the times was and still is a multicultural hub where the photo opportunities pass before your eyes. You will discover the gangland of the 60s run by the infamous Cray Brothers and visit the hot spots of crimes and riots. Follow the clues by browsing the architecture, discovering small shops, pubs and people watching that will help you to compose and create a story through pictures.
You will be encourage to shoot with a sense of producing a group of images that will then be assembled together in a presentation to show your personal view.
