Join Jed Manwaring and Brenda Tharp, authors of Extraordinary Everyday Photography, and learn how to photograph the ordinary and bring to light the truth that everything can be interesting, even extraordinary, when the creative mind sees it.
The world is a fascinating place! Man and nature intertwine, and the lines, shapes, angles, colors, textures and patterns make it all a very interesting, visual place. However, in our everyday life we often miss the beauty, and the wonder, of what is right under our feet, right around us. This workshop presents methods for seeing beyond the subject, exercises for finding new vision, and covers the creative skills to translate what you see into a final image. Through field session, assignments, discussions and image reviews, you’ll learn how to transform the ordinary into something visually extraordinary.
• Learn how to slow down and open yourself to see what is around you
• Learn how to compose for simple, yet effective, images that express what you see
• Work through assignments given during class to stretch your mind’s eye
• Share your vision and get feedback in classroom review
The workshop will be conducted in Santa Rosa and surrounding locales (to be announced at the start of the workshop).
