DESIGNING YOUR PHOTOS: Using the Building Blocks of Visual Design

Would you like to create more interesting photographs?

Learn to design images, not just take them. This presentation enhances your awareness of subjects, taps into your creativity and teaches you to SEE differently. Using the building blocks of visual design: Light, Shape, Texture, Line and Perspective, along with Four Principles of Picture Organization: Dominance, Balance, Proportion and Pattern, you will learn to create images with a fresh eye. Todd will share images illustrating all the concepts in this informative and fun presentation. Regardless of your knowledge and experience, you’ll be sure to gain a better understanding of how to create the photographs you want.

ADDING PIZZAZZ: Photoshop® Not Required


Level: All

Did you know that playing can help access your creativity?

In this presentation, We will explore many creative techniques for “playing” photographically to enhance your images without relying on Photoshop®. For example, multiple exposures can form impressionistic images, creative sequences enhance slide show imagery and unusual angles make for unique compositions. You will learn how to: layer images as montages or sandwiches; shoot through water droplets using Rain-X®; and catch reflections on water, metal, Mylar® and other surfaces. Imagine the fun of creating abstracts through glass or isolating subjects using selective focus. What about time exposures or illuminating subjects with LED’s and reflectors? All these techniques may be used in the field, rather than generated on the computer. Tap into your creativity and have fun exploring some new ideas, and some old ideas differently!
