Note: This is a new Workshop offering!
Whether you want to become a Fine Art Photographer or want to be recognized and appreciated as a Fine Art Photographer, this is the workshop for you!
We will take you from developing an original vision all the way through exhibiting and promoting your fine art photography.
You will learn how an understanding of human vision can not only inform your unique, creative, photographic vision, but also assist in anticipating the reaction your images will receive when viewed by beholders of your art.
You will be treated to a case study of how subjective artistic expression can be inspired by objective storytelling.
