The artistic choices we make with our cameras tell us about who we are, what we love, and how we might "speak" to the world with visual images. Many influences guide the development of our creative style and encourage us, as photographic artists, to continue to evolve on our creative path.

This course is for all photographers (beginners and advanced) who would like to take their work to the next level by learning new techniques, discovering new ways to see the world through a lens, learning from the work of legacy and contemporary photographers, and focusing on themes which deepen the creative process. We will also bend … and break … a few rules to produce truly original work.


You will review creative tools such as composition, lighting, perspective, motion, contrast, selective focus, and post-production techniques through in-class exercises and assignments.  We will discuss the work of past and present photographers, and how taking a deep dive into a particular theme for a series is both challenging and liberating.


Students can expect to:


  • Become more familiar with their camera and its creative and technical options.
  • Learn about exposure, composition, and how to engage subjects.
  • Learn from the work of other photographers.
  • Move their work in new creative directions.
  • Participate in a friendly critique session of their work.

Course Requirements:


  • Suitable for all levels of photographers
