Overview:

Creative Digital Photography November 1-2

This imagination based course is designed to develop your creative eye with lessons that blend technical knowledge with visual elements of design. Learn how many of the basic functions of the digital camera will produce beautiful images. Something magical happens when we look through a camera lens. Regardless of our theme, the subject matter takes on a different feel. The resulting photograph differs from the actual view. The subject is represented in the image the way the photographer chooses to represent it, through the filter of the photographer's eye.

This workshop analyzes how we can use the camera to better capture what we hold in our mind's eye. We identify the principal features that all images have in common and explore how great images use them most successfully. We examine work by contemporary and historic photographers and consider the choices they made. We also discuss each other's work, looking for patterns in the way we see as individuals. We will practice expanding and fine-tuning our personal vision through daily assignments and critiques. Participants are encouraged to use their cameras in new and unique ways to capture what their mind envisions.
