Workshop Details
Ideas, Impact, Light, Color, Vision
Do you ever look at an amazing photograph and wonder, “How did they ever come up with that?” Creativity can seem like a rare talent—something you’re born with, or an ability available only to a few. But exceptional creativity is accessible to anyone, and can be summoned at any time. Creating successfully is a repeatable process—and we’ll share how you can use it to successfully create with your camera.
Photography is the rare art form that combines both the visual and the technical. The technical side of photography deals with f/stops, shutter speeds, and focal lengths. But the visual side happens before we attach our lens, set our exposure, or press the shutter. In this Creativity Master Class, you’ll learn how to generate unique ideas, why visualization is your creative secret weapon, and how to transfer your ideas to your camera’s sensor—and beyond.
