Light, gesture, color, and perception are the major themes of this workshop, intended to help photographers see more keenly and precisely what is in their own images. Jay informs, inspires, and challenges participants with an active schedule of assignments, reviews, and lectures illustrated with examples of his work.

The week begins with a critique of each participant’s ten best images, highlighting one of the key elements of the workshop: to deepen awareness of the quintessential design principle of figure-ground relationships. Assignments focus on honing photographic skills, intuitive self-trust, and the ability to think in terms of pure color. Jay’s energy and knowledge of photography make his workshop a challenging and rewarding experience.
