Do you want to make powerful, expressive photographs? This workshop will help you do that by improving your compositional skills, showing you how to tap into your imagination and creativity, and helping you master advanced techniques in landscape photography.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of composition and visual language, and of how to apply that knowledge in a practical way in the field. We’ll also delve into photography’s most essential element – light – including how to plan, scout, assess the weather and conditions, and find the best combinations of subject and light for the conditions. In addition, you’ll learn how to master advanced techniques like exposure blending and focus stacking.

This workshop will focus on composition, creativity, and advanced techniques, so it’s suitable for intermediate and advanced photographers who know how to use their cameras, have a solid, working understanding of the technical fundamentals like exposure and depth of field, and are comfortable processing their images in Lightroom, Photoshop, or other programs. Any DSLR or mirrorless camera should be suitable for this class.
