Most of us use our eyes to establish where we are or where we are going. However, in photography we are interested in “seeing”. Some feel that the only way to make photographs is to have unique subjects or travel to exotic locations. And while there is some truth to that, there is a multitude of possibilities waiting out there for us to recognize their photographic potential and make the ordinary, the extraordinary. This is a workshop for serious amateurs and professionals wishing to take their photographic vision to the next step.

The workshop begins with an intensive review of each participant’s images and a discussion of personal and career goals. In addition to addressing the aesthetics of color photography, Arthur leads group critiques and shows examples of his own work to help illustrate the variety of methods necessary to help expand your ability to perceive and observe. Daily assignments put classroom techniques into practice and take advantage of the stunning light and color of Southern California. Participants leave at the end of the weekend with a greater awareness of their strengths and an enhanced sensitivity to light, color and the endless possibilities of subjects to be photographed.

Intended for advanced amateurs and professionals alike. A working knowledge of digital workflow and manual mode on your digital SLR is required. Participants should bring a laptop computer loaded with photo editing/processing software.
