LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY:
Photographing the landscape and architecture while traveling allows us to examine our relationship with the places in which we visit or in which we live.
It is an active expression of our desire to remember, to revisit, and to tell our personal experiences. In this workshop you will understand lenses, exposure, lighting, preparing for the outdoors, composition and hyperfocal distance.
ANGLES AND COMPOSITION:
Composition is the way we decide to organize different elements in our frame in order to get an amazing picture. A good photographer must never use an editing tool to crop their image or correct the angle of the image they have photographed. Every shot should always be deliberate and planned and photographed within a split second of spotting it. You are taught to train your eye and recognize great composition. In this workshop we will teach you the guidelines that have been created about composition and then encourage you to break the rules when there is a reason for it.
PHOTOGRAPHING FAMILY PORTRAITS:
Learn how to capture genuine, emotional images of families. Learn how to create a relationship and environment that helps the clients feel at ease. You’ll revisit the art of storytelling through still images and how to bring storytelling into your work with families. If you want to deepen your relationships with the subjects you shoot and deliver photographs that are joyful and authentic, join Kirsten for this in-depth class on documentary-style family photography.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY:
Fashion photography is one of the world’s most glamorous careers. While talent is important, success relies upon knowledge and training. Fashion photographers require a deep understanding of both photographic techniques and fashion to create visuals which represent ideas and innovation. Fashion industry executives in advertising, commercial and editorial arenas are always on the look out for skilled fashion photographers. Coursework in Fashion Photography lays the groundwork for a successful career in the photography industry and related fields.
In this workshop you will use available light or studio lights to create dynamic, high fashion photographs. If you know proper technique, you can then focus on the model and you don’t waste precious frames setting up your camera. Understand the mood you’re trying to achieve, use the light as the creative means to express your idea, talk to model and let her know what you need, stir her up with your effective communication and then shoot, shoot, shoot!
