Personal Vision: Capturing a Moment in Time
© Jill Enfield
How can we make meaningful images - whether setting foot in our own backyards or an exciting new destination? During this weekend workshop we will look at images and photograph at all hours, both inside and out, to discover how we each experience a place in our own way and how that personal moment in time can evoke emotion and tell a story to others. We will investigate what attracts us to a particular spot and compels us to stop, press the shutter release and capture that place and moment forever. How does that solitary moment translate to others? Upon reviewing your work, Jill will provide personalized assignments designed to teach you how to analyze the picture making process to create images that evoke a response and further thought from the viewer. Through critiques and shooting assignments, students will learn editing skills which will advance their personal vision.
It does not matter if you shoot film or digital. What matters is how you see and record an image to take it beyond the snapshot.
