Take your photography to the next level – beyond the snapshot! Using examples, shooting assignments, and critiques, this two-part workshop will help develop your ability to see with the eye of a photographer to create well-composed photographs using natural light in a non-studio environment. This is a non-technical workshop suitable for all cameras.

What you learn

Starting with an understanding of what makes an interesting photograph, Tom Cassen shows you, in Part 1, how to visualize a scene in terms of the basic building blocks of visual design and how you can use these elements to convey emotion and create visual impact in your photographs. Part 2 extends your photographic vision through critique and discussion of the assignments given in Part 1.

Who should take this workshop

You should be completely comfortable using the controls on your camera. The CCAC offers the Foundation for Photography workshop for those who need basic instruction in camera operation and principles of photography.
