In a world in which one trillion photos are expected to be made this year, how do you create meaning in photographs that will cause the viewer to linger and look? What makes some images memorable and others forgotten?
Awaken your creativity and learn to make compelling photographs. Investigate the key elements of the visual language through assignments, slide presentations, and individual critiques for a wide range of personal and professional applications. Topics covered:
Principles of Visual Expression with a Camera
Cultivating the Art of Seeing
Creativity with a Camera: Tools and Tips
Authenticity: Discovering Your Unique Vision and Style
The Seminal work of Culling, Selecting, and Editing images

Prerequisite: A basic familiarity with your camera. Open to all levels from novice to professional. All camera types are welcome, including cell phones.
Please bring 6-8 jpeg images of your work on a thumb drive to the first class.
