Fall 2012

Shift that camera dial off Auto and learn to tap the creative light inside you.

In this class we will explore and develop your photographic voice through playful, easy-to-understand exercises. The result will be pictures that make your spirit sing.  My goal will be to help you take your photography to an entirely new level. No longer will you be limited to your camera’s Auto mode!

This is a low tech class for ALL levels. You’ll receive simple, practical tips on lighting, composition and your camera’s settings. We will experiment with both natural and off-camera lights and learn how lighting can be coaxed and accentuated using simple reflectors. We will explore lighting for creative portraiture and still life subjects. You can choose to focus on one or the other, or try a bit of both.

I will share the process I use to center myself before a photo shoot and how I connect with my subjects. And, during the class you will have an opportunity to have me capture your shining light in a personal portrait.

This workshop will leave you with a photo toolbox full of lighting techniques and tricks that will enable you to get images that really light you up inside as well as a personal portrait taken by me!
