What can I learn?

There is a lot of flexibility in these one-on-one photography workshops to learn what you want. However, you might be wondering what could be covered? Following is a list of things that I’ve found are most commonly covered in my landscape photography workshops:

  • Understand the importance of light and the different types of light. Learn how they can interact with your subject by reviewing my favourite images and then experience them in the field.
  • Review and learn different approaches to composition. Break limiting compositional rules by opening your mind up to alternative compositional approaches.
  • We look into the planning tools I use for each landscape photography adventure. Make the most of your time in the field.
  • Grasp the technical aspects of your camera and make sure you are comfortable in manual mode. Dive into Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO in an easy to understand way. Ensuring that your camera becomes a tool to aid you in taking better photos.
  • Understand dynamic range and where to focus. Explore ways to achieve full dynamic range in a scene and get clear, sharp photos every time.
  • Add-on an hour or several at the end of our in-field session to go through some post-processing techniques in Lightroom CC or Photoshop CC
