With: David Ulrich

The principal medium of photography lies not with your camera but with your vision and creative response. This workshop explores the ways and means, through exercises, of developing a unique visual voice and making photographic images that grow directly from your distinctive manner of seeing-and then digitally editing those images to fully convey your artistic intent.

This two-day workshop combines fieldwork in photography, creative exercises, digital editing of images for expressive results, and critique/response. The goal is to inspire and excite participants towards heightened awareness and creativity. Learning to see with a camera will be emphasized.

Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of camera use. Please bring your digital camera, a memory card capable of holding 40-60 images, and either your camera/computer cable or a card reader.
