This workshop begins with a discussion about creative seeing and understanding how to make engaging, interesting, and personally-expressive photographs. We discuss visualization and the key considerations when planning and making photographs.

An interactive photo critique session is next on our agenda. Students will review and critique a collection of images.

Hands-on practice is next, photographing table-top setups and portraits. You will learn to focus on creating interesting photographs about the subjects, not just accurate recordings. We explore visual ideas and various tools and techniques that allow us to craft unique images. Our objective is for you to learn to see creatively and make more meaningful photographs, while developing the tools to evaluate your own work and the work of other photographers. I will provide you with tools, not rules, for making better photographs. Conformity to rules often inhibits creativity and the development of a personal style. Your own vision and style are important.

You will have the opportunity to photograph tabletop setups and portraits. I recommend that you bring a camera and lens combination that allows for close-up photography and exposure control. A tripod and an off-camera lighting gear (flash or LED light) will also be useful. A smart phone is also acceptable.
