COMPOSITION
What does it take to create a truly powerful image? Dan will share his method for creating movement, energy and drama in a photograph – digging into how certain combinations of elements can influence the eye and mind in a profound way. He will breakdown landscape photography into a recognizable pattern that can be used as a tool to create great images.
IMAGE EDITING
While most editing courses focus on basics or a very technical side of processing – this class is different. Dan will show you how to easily and effectively process your images so that they look great, without spending hours on the computer. Dan will also cover the “why” we do a certain step in terms of the artistic value, while always staying true to the reality of a scene.
IN THE FIELD
Class will involve a series of outdoor assignments, including a sunset shoot, designed to help you truly grasp using new techniques in the field. Dan will teach you about how your position in space relates to the location of multiple subjects in your scene and how changing your angle relative to your subjects can have a profound effect on the overall design of your image.
