with Erica Manning
REGISTER NOW
As photographers, we’re all visual story tellers. But what story are we telling?
And do our viewers truly understand the story we’re trying to tell?
In our discussion we will break down the why, what, and how of creative image making:
WHY you would want to incorporate creative image making into your photography, discovering ways it can elevate our skills and confidence and ignite your creative fire.
WHAT processes are involved in making a creative image. We’ll explore idea development, lighting, shooting, and editing.
HOW to leverage this skill into your business. This talk will equip you with the tools to tell your story beautifully and effectively.
