We are offering Photographic Compostion ON LINE via ZOOM MEETINGS.
The Photographic Composition class is for ANY photographer who would like to create more compelling and interesting images. This class moves you beyond taking snapshots and helps to transform you into a photographic artist.
During the class, you will learn the most important basic photography concepts including effective composition guidelines, use of leading lines, color harmony, proper positioning of subject matter, creation of strong focal points, the rule of thirds and beyond by understanding Fibonacci mathematics, eliminating distractions, tonal control and so much more.
Major topics discussed include the elements of Space, Line, Color, Tone, Shape, Texture, and Form. The proper use of negative space, foreground, visual balance and story telling " in your photography are also discussed.
The Photographic Composition Class isn't about getting you comfortable with your camera, rather it's an informative look at the craft of photography. Learning to "see" though your view finder.
You'll have plenty of opportunity to receive feedback on your work in a friendly community environment. This course features weekly assignments which are gently critiqued to help you improve.
We always tell students that the number one way to improve their photography is to show their images and receive feedback from professional photographers who know what makes a good photograph. Showing your images to relatives is great and, in their eyes, you'll always be a fantastic photographer, but to make real improvements in your work, you need to receive real, constructive feedback.
