The Albuquerque Photographers' Gallery is
now offering workshops for photographers of all experience levels,
starting with "Personal Vision: Taking Control of the Creative Process"
on September 12th, 6-8 PM.
A camera can calculate mathematically
the right exposure and focus the lens for you but it has no idea what
feelings or messages you are trying to communicate in your image. What
if you decided to take control and make the creative decisions based on
what vision you have in your head?
"Personal Vision" offers 10
tools to help you make better and more creative images. These tools are
not expensive and are not found in the latest high tech equipment or
software. Remember, the most important piece of photographic equipment
in the world is your brain—and you already own it.
This two-hour
class is geared toward advanced beginners— those who are familiar with
their own cameras and want to move beyond snapshots, or photographers at
any level who want a little extra inspiration. Attendees may bring one
of their own photos (either a print or a jpeg on a flash drive) for
critique, depending on the available time at the end of the class.
Instructor:

ANMPAS, Associated Press and the National Press Photographers
Association, among others. Some of her work is in the permanent

“….as
the language or vocabulary of photography has been extended, the
emphasis of meaning has shifted—shifted from what the world looks like
to what we feel about the world and what we want the world to mean.”
