About:
In this workshop Nevada will dissect what it means to “see photographically”. How to
convert “looking” to acutely “seeing” the creative potential in front of you, and then how
to translate it into a compelling photograph.
It might be the use of analogous color in landscapes. Or maybe compelling action in
warm late afternoon light. Or a repetitive pattern with contrasting colors and intriguing
shadows. Or… There are numerous possibilities, if you unite at least two of CLAP
(color, light, action, pattern).
Color: Most photographers do not understand the importance of color and its role in, not
only, conveying mood and emotion, but in basic composition.
Light: Photography means ‘write with light’. Nevada will discuss the personality of light
at all times of the day, from the harsh daylight to blue hour and into night.
Action: Nevada discusses how to extract the feel of a moment using, not only stop
action, but panning and slow shutter speeds.
Pattern: Delve into the power of impeccable framing in the camera for a compelling
composition, as well as how repetitive patterns will strengthen the flow in your images.
