APG Workshops

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:
Janet Worne has been a professional photographer for over 30 years, most of that time as a photojournalist. While working for newspapers in three states, she has covered a wide variety of subjects, including sports, news, features, and art. She has won numerous awards from ANMPAS, Associated Press and the National Press Photographers Association, among others. Some of her work is in the permanent collection at The National Museum for Women in the Arts in DC. She has taught college level photography and served as a mentor for NPPA. Janet currently lives in New Mexico, pursuing fine art photography.
