This class is a comprehensive look at the elements used to create extraordinary photographs. It focuses on teaching you how to see and compose. Learn where to place the subject for maximum impact. We'll explore the essentials of a good composition and how the various elements in a photograph work together. Principles such as the "Rule of Thirds" and "Power Points" will be discussed. You'll learn about using colors, shapes, patterns, lines and framing. These and other techniques covered will help you start creating compositions that go beyond the basics. The next time you're out photographing you'll be able to apply what you learn in this class.

After a presentation we'll go outside to practice applying these composition techniques in the gardens.

After the class all attendees will be sent a link to download a color pdf handout with the slides from the presentation.
