The art of the image is a course I specifically designed for all levels of photographers
It's not about f stops and shutter speeds or lot of technical mumbo-jumbo.
What I've managed to create is a wonderful new approach to teaching photography
With this course I'm challenging you to discover your inner artist beginning with a few insightful inward-looking episodes then moving on to more essential practices and techniques to help and guide you to creating those images you've always wanted to create.
The art of the image is my complete guide to mastering photographic artistry.
This introductory video will give you insight into the artistic mindset, which is where you want to be at all times when creating your photographs.
Lets get started!
If you cannot imagine the image in your head how are you suppose to create it?
In this lesson I am talking about one of the MOST important aspects of being creative and creating the images you want to create. Let help you unleash the artist inside you!
In this lesson you will learn how use compositional techniques (leading lines, natural framing, etc) as an observer of your environment and
After awhile, with practice, you must achieve breaking out of this box of composition and start to see these "rules" more like guides that are there for your automatically. In part 2 of this lesson I will talk about how to do this.
Color is powerful. Colors have the power to influence our feelings and make us come to certain conclusion about an image. As a photographer you should understand the effects of color and learn to use them in your imagery with purposeful effect.
As a photographer the most important ability you can have is to fully understand light and its many qualities.
In this video I will explain how to understand light by showing how I created many of my best images.
Learning the basic Lightroom workflow and staying creative at the same time!
This video covers my creative workflow in Lightroom
There are many things you need to understand to continually create great images. In this lesson I will teach you a few practical ideas about positioning and relationship building between your subjects and elements
What are you trying to say with a photograph? Why do some photos work and others flop dead?
In this lesson I will talk about creating and leaving visual clues for your viewer. The more a viewer can relate to your intention the more they will "get it".
This is a very valuable lesson for photographers.
There are two reasons I love to teach photography.
One is that I believe the act of creating art, creating anything, is an essential part of our humanness. We love to make, we love to look at the world and respond with our experiences.
Because we are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us
The other reason is that I believe we are all artists. We all have something unique to say, to offer to the world. Our experiences, our stories are particular to us and so, too, is our creativity.
For a good couple of years I have been mulling over the idea of making my workshops and teachings more accessible. Of creating a fully recorded, downloadable photography course.
I know not everyone can access my location workshops - or my live online courses that are impractical to many time zones.
So I decided it would be amazing to create a recorded online course that covers all of the fundamental things I teach on my workshops - and that I use each and every day in my life as a photographer.
And most importantly - the lessons are focused on taking an artist-led approach. The course is totally and entirely created to helping you develop your inner artist.
This online workshop will totally transform both how you think about photography, and how you take photos.
I will be teaching my methodology of creating great images.
These are the techniques I have used to become an award winning photographer, a published artist and having exhibitions internationally.
The techniques I have used to create a career where I have had my photography books commissioned, been featured on BBC World and in many international publications.
These are also the techniques I teach in my workshops all over the world - from Cuba to London, Venice to Hong Kong. I have taught for the Guardian Masterclasses, the London Mayor’s office, written about photography for Huffington Post, Digital Photography School
