The Trinity Sessions – audio and photography training

duckrabbit training presents The Trinity Sessions, a series of fun, hands on workshops for forward thinking photographers who want to get to grips with digital storytelling (multimedia, audio slideshows).

We’ll teach you how to use a digital recorder, record powerful interviews, then edit the audio and produce audio slideshows.

Taking place in one of the UK’s most iconic arts venues, a Seventeenth century church turned arts centre, The Trinity Sessions seek to baptise an exciting new generation of digital storytellers. The training is for photographers who understand the economic and creative importance of presenting their work in fresh ways.

‘LEARN FROM THE BEST’ ADAM WESTBROOK

Meet the Trainers

Benjamin is a former BBC Radio documentaries producer profiled by the Observer as ‘one of radio’s biggest turn ons’. David is an award winning editorial photographer represented by Horton-Stephens. Since forming duckrabbit last year they have picked up a POYI multimedia award and most recently have been nominated for an Amnesty International Media Award.

Benjamin and David have designed and run training courses internationally in Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan and in the UK.

The first Trinity Session will run over a long weekend from the 10-12th of July. There will only be six places on this course. We strongly recommend that you book your place early due to the small number of places.

Workshop Schedule

Friday Evening

Friday evening is a chance for us all to get to know each other and prepare for the following two days. We’ll share a meal together, have a drink and introduce our work to one another on the big screen (projector).

(Please note participants can take part in the workshop without being present on Friday night.)

Saturday

The morning will be spent learning the basics of recording audio in the field. We’ll then split you into groups, assign you your story, facilitate a brief discussion on ways of presenting it, and then go out to shoot and record.

David and Benjamin will work with the groups in the field, feeding back through observation.

At the end of the day we’ll discuss the material we’ve gathered, how we might edit it and what elements of our stories, if any, are missing.

Sunday

The morning will be spent exploring how the features can be edited, selecting the photographs and gathering any additional material that is needed. The rest of the day will be spent producing the features.

Everyone will spend time editing the audio and photographs, as well as pulling the two together.

The workshop will end with a showing of the work, followed by a debrief and a warm feeling of satisfaction.

This is a participatory workshop in which the focus is on learning through doing.
