This class will train you to walk into a scene; visualize subject to location composition, lighting and a finished product; then make it happen. You'll work with natural light, artificial light and a combination of the two. You will practice where to place and how to pose a subject within the scene. Beyond what was captured with the camera, this class will take you through post process, print enhancements and lab-ready printing preparations from very simple tasks to more complicated ideas and concepts. (Bring your computer.)

This is a hands-on class. (Bring your equipment!) You will be creating images of models with a specific purpose. This is about training your brain to see what is possible. Instead of taking a picture, you will create an image.
