Santa Fe is an enchanting place, famous for the diversity of its culture, the creative energy of its population, and the splendor of its landscape. This workshop is for photographers eager to explore their vision in location portraits and the natural world, as they experiment with a variety of styles. Making use of creative camera techniques and essential design elements, we discover how to produce compelling images that truly capture the heart and soul of our subject, whether it is a person, place, or thing. Topics include understanding and manipulating available light, using portable flash for professional results, adjusting for color temperature, and creating a mood. We also discuss composition and design, the relative merits of color and black and white, developing concepts, and approaching people with an understanding of human psychology. We learn to be more aware of what the environment has to offer visually, from the smallest detail to the entire scene. By the end of the week, participants have strengthened both their technical craft and their ability to pre-visualize concepts, resulting in stronger and more meaningful images.
