Light is how we see. Learning how to see that light verses the differences of shadow can make or break your images.

The nuances of light and how your camera sees are covered in this workshop. Workshops discuss digital capture, controls, hands on in the field, assignments, attention to exposure, contrast, filters, Lightroom, the digital darkroom are part of this workshop as well.

Attendees should bring to class their camera, laptop and about 25 images they wish to discuss or have questions and need answers - pertaining to light and shadow in reality - exposure.

Prepare to shoot on location with attention to the light and how to see the light when preparing to make an exposure. , process the images created on location, create an approach to style and work with our computers.

B) Processing Your Images

Attendees should bring to class their camera, laptop and about 25 images they wish to work discuss or have questions and need answers pertaining to light and processing their images with various software and hardware techniques based on exposure.

We work on your present workflow now and improve on what you are doing with techniques we use in the studio to make our processing easier and most of the time, faster.

Everyone thinks because your images are digital they will come out of the camera just right... Well, to get images "like you saw them," your images need to be processed. We go over exposure, light and shadow, and then what to do with you images once you have them so our prints or digital files look like what you want them to be.

We will have class, shoot on location, process the images created on location, create an approach to style and work with our computers.

Using Your Camera to Tell Stories...

Photography in general alludes to fun and excitement. Photography also brings one to many places both in your minds eye and in the actual photograph. We travel to exotic places with the idea in mind to create equally exotic Photographs. We are travelers, we are adventure seekers and we want to see and do more and capture it through our cameras.

However, if we don't know how to do it well, take Photographs... all that excitement dies fast when our Photographs don't look like what we felt and saw when we look at them. Good Photography creates a feeling and better photography get us excited. The old cliché that;

"A picture is worth a thousand Words!"

It's true... I would like to think and hope that some images are worth more words and some Photographs do all the talking. Wouldn't you like to be that Creator? Wouldn't you like to create pictures that speak to your viewing audience?

Take the first step with us at Stanwycks Photography and we will get you on that path today. We will help you understand photography and it's language so much better. You will see!
