Unlike painting, the digital photographic technique is relatively easy. Learning it from  A  to Z in less than six months is not unheard of.  A much trickier question is, what to do with all this knowledge and skill? How to apply it? How to make your images important to others? It all comes down to a question, is there anything that you would like to share with the world. If this is the case, and you want to know how to do it eloquently and persuasively, we can help.

This workshop is intended for amateur and professional shooters who are interested in the artistic aspect of photography.  We will give you an insight into the psychological aspects of creativity and photographic image-making.  You will learn how to maximize the emotional impact of your photos, how to make them more telling and meaningful, and how to get under the skin of your beloved audience.

Fine Print

Having a camera (or at least a smartphone) is required on the second day of our workshop. While we observe reasonable limits of decency, this is a PG-18 event.  All participants should expect to play active roles on both sides of the camera. Psychoactive substances except coffee are not welcome during the workshop, as we provide an experience mind-altering enough. In our photo critique sessions, we choose to be honest rather than polite, which may be not entirely comfortable for some people. Everything that you have just read is not 100% serious.
