Finding Your Photographer's Eye: Creating & Capturing Your Creative Photo Vision
iPhone photographers are welcome to join us!
We all know the works of Ansel Adams, Helmut Newton, and Cindy Sherman. How do we know these photographers? We simply know these photographers through their personal unique styles that draw one into their realm of works.
Whether you are picking up a camera for the first time or have been shooting for years, finding your photographer's eye is key to creating your own unique style of photography. There is no final destination to this quest, but rather, a never-ending exercise in "seeing", experimenting, creating, and ultimately, loving every minute of the journey.
This Workshop is a MUST for anyone looking to get beyond taking just snapshots. Through creative exercises and examples, this Workshop will inspire you to shoot images you truly love and to reach new levels of image creation using your powers of imagination, awareness, and observation.
Topics to be covered include:
- What makes a good photograph
- The barriers to creativity and how to overcome them
- Choosing or creating a subject of your photograph
- Top visual preferences of viewers of photography
- Tips for avoiding the creation of a cliche image
- The role of "awareness" in photography
- Seeing beyond what's in front of you
- The power of imposing constraints
- Keys to creating better pictures
- Tips on finding your own photographer’s eye and unique style
- And so much more!
You will leave this workshop with a better understanding of and direction for how to make your work stand out from the crowd.
Requirements: You must bring a tangible portfolio of 20 of your favorite photos (not necessarily your own), developed in 3x5 or 4x6 prints if they are your own photos. Do not bring these digitally! There will be outdoor class exercises toward the end of the workshop, so please bring your camera w/ charged batteries and empty memory cards, plenty of hydration, and dress accordingly!
