This photography class get booked by photographers, who struggle determining if their photos are any good…or not. They know what they like when they see it… but not WHY.

They are fed up the the gills with online soothsayers and stories. Their relationship to their photography has plateaued and is not exciting any more. They want an engaging visual journey with a real human that presents the simple purity of image making to help identify strong photos from weak ones and breaks the creative blocks and sets them free to roam with their cameras.

What You’ll Learn:
Photo Composition’s New Testament Greats –a legendary code!

* Mental preparation * Geometry
* Figure & Ground * Depth
* Framing * Movement
* Clarity * Ways of Seeing- Projection, Introjection and Confluence

Finally, an evolving sense of Pictorial Zen garnishes the plate and you feast.
