This course is for those wishing to advance their photographic skills, strengthening their sense of composition and design. Students examine the creative process of building a photograph, increasing visual impact and establishing their own photographic style. We will explore the process of selecting a subject, identifying its attraction, adding supporting visual elements, establishing spatial relationships, and minimizing distractions. By examining images from well-known photographers, students will gain insight into how their approach influenced the image's significance and meaning. PowerPoint, assignments, class discussions, and critiques will be used to help you analyze and edit your photos; improve technique; and establish your own vision as a photographer. For the field portion of the class, participants will meet in historic Annapolis to apply some of the photo techniques discussed in the classroom. Photo opportunities include the harbor and boats, historic buildings, quaint shops, people, etc. Students are responsible for their own transportation.
Irene Hinke-Sacilotto has had photos published by the National Wildlife Federation, the Audubon Society and National Geographic.
