* October 30 – Understanding and Using Composition Workshop with Jim Fowler – Part 1
NOTE: This is a two-part workshop meeting on Monday, October 30, and Monday, November 6 via Zoom. Registration for Part 1 will enroll you in both sessions.
Join Jim Fowler on an interesting and entertaining journey as we explore techniques and tools to improve composition. Good composition is an exercise in judgment. You can improve your composition skills by understanding some basics about how we see, how we look at pictures, and what tools are available. Learn how to forget what you first saw that captured your attention and think instead about the final image you want to produce.
In this practical and fun workshop, Jim shows what we can do with composition to improve the visual impact of our photos. Drawing on information from both scientific and artistic sources, Jim uses his own photos, and some famous photos and paintings to illustrate every tool and technique he talks about.
All participants will receive Jim’s written notes and select references the day after the presentation.
