Description
We have all heard about the rules of thirds in photography. Yes, this rule helps us compose an interesting and pleasing photograph, however it is a rule to learn but then break. Every photographer has a vision and this is something that is developed and sharpened with practice. Learn how to create a photograph that is compelling & captivates the viewer. Develop your creative power with photography (no pun intended!).
We will cover how to “see” what is in front of you and how to maximize the impact of a subject in a capture. In addition to all the basics in this hands-on class, we will discuss the impact of changing depth-of-field on a subject, stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other picture-taking techniques.
We will navigate the Back Bay of Boston, an area rich in history and beautiful architecture. There is no end of photographic opportunities!
If any of the following strikes a chord, this workshop is for you.
- You’ve had your camera for a while and want to take better pictures.
- You have a DSLR, mirrorless camera or bridge camera & you have no idea how to use it.
- You are bypassing using your camera because you just don’t see the difference between shots from your expensive camera and your smartphone.
You own a visual powerhouse. Learn how to develop your vision and use your camera to capture it.
This is the essential class for anyone wanting to take a photograph that is more than just a snapshot.
