Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this composition class:

Photography is all about making decisions, some as simple as deciding where to stand, which way to point your camera, and when to click the shutter.  As the director of your viewer's attention, it's up to you to decide how the various elements of your image work together (or not).

In this 1-Day Workout, we're going to put your decision-making to the test.  First we'll begin with a quick diagnostic exercise, and follow that with a critical survey on composition techniques introduced in art and photography.  Beginning with simple concepts like leading lines, 1-point perspective, frame-within-a-frame, and then breaking down the ideas that made classic works of art famous, we'll get you looking deeper at the underlying forms and structure of effective images.

Then we'll take our experiments outside where you'll respond to challenges designed to spark new ideas.  Employing techniques discussed, and forging new ones of your own, you'll be able to try unexpected approaches to visual puzzles presented by the real world.  

By class end, you'll have more confidence in your framing and creative decision-making so you can create memorable, visually-satisfying imagery to be proud of.

Who should take this class?

We recommend this class to anyone who wants to hone their eye, including emerging photographers, designers, art lovers, social media enthusiasts and just about anyone else.  

What to bring?

Any camera can be used for this class, from a high-end DSLR to a smartphone.  Remember to bring a clean memory card (or have plenty of space available on your phone) and a fully-charged battery.  Comfortable shoes are recommended as we'll be shooting inside and out.

Prerequisites

None, although it's strongly recommended to take our 1-Day Workout: Camera Warm-Up! and 1-Day Workout: Engaging Light! so that you may have a strong grounding in the basics of camera control and the properties of light.

    Reviewed by Carlos S. on 7/9/2018
    Very interesting class on photo composition. I definitely appreciated the slides and the discussions as we examined some examples of paintings and photos.. Interesting to use art examples and not just photos to illustrate the different points. It helped that the instructor had art theory background. My only critique/suggestion would be that I thought instructor would also accompany us during the picture taking exercise.. but then again.. it still works as we're trusted to go on our own and discover and then we discuss in length back in the classroom.. which was done here.. I would definitely recommend the class to anyone wanting to learn theory behind photo composition.. *One question.. is it possible to get copy of the power point presentation from the class? I was jotting down some of the artist names and paintings but def missed some. would like to have that so I can look up online.. Thx

    This was a very enjoyable class with a knowledgeable instructor. I learned a lot about the camera and composition. I've read many books on this subject but having a professional photographer provide instant feedback on the work of many students was a great learning experience.
