There is a standard way to do things, and a creative way, sometimes the two mix but it is essential to understand both in order to master even one. This is an introductory/advanced class in creating creative photographic portraits, challenging the students to go outside even their own concepts and ideas of what creativity is.
An intensive, 4-WEEK Course designed to give first a brief understanding of the basics of portrait photography and creative portraiture, then providing a space to play with the borders, or break those boundaries, to truly create images that are unique to the students themselves.
Discussions will be facilitated on why the students are challenging themselves creatively, helping to highlight where the vision of each student comes from within themselves, allowing the space through time with in-class and take-away assignments to explore this creativity further.
Breakin' the rules!
