Photographic Vision

We all have an idea of what we want to capture in a photograph but it often doesn't come out the way we visualized it. In this workshop work with a professional photographer to get feedback, suggestions, and pointers on how you can improve your pictures.  Each student will bring twelve 4x6 prints to class. Preferred pictures to bring are photos that you thought would be good when you took them but the resulting image didn't live up to what you imagined. The class will explore different approaches that could be used to improve those photos and take better images. Class is limited to twelve students.
