THE ART OF FOG
Join me in the fog! Together, we will explore the magic of this moody weather phenomenon. Spanning both art and science, The Art of Fog will review selected topics such as: the types of fog and the meteorological elements necessary for formation, forecasting tools, symbolism and the ways in which its emotional and visual effects on the landscape can inject mood, and a case study in applying this knowledge in the field. Inspirational images will be included throughout the presentation. After this session you will have a deeper understanding of fog, and more importantly, a greater appreciation of how you can employ it as a powerful artistic element to inject mood into your expressive photography.
Adapted from my eBook The Art of Fog: A Primer for Expressive Landscape & Nature Photography in Fog.
CULTIVATING CONNECTION: Techniques for More Expressive Imagery
"Connecting with nature" is a buzzy and popular media term these days, and we're also seeing it pop up more and more in relation to photography instruction. But what does it mean, exactly? What's the point, and why do we care as photographers? How can we connect with nature and landscapes? Join me as I share some examples of how I connect with the places I photograph, and how I use that connection to harness and hone my unique artistic vision.
Comes with a FREE eBook for participants.
THE FEMININE LANDSCAPE: Twelve Years of Connecting Self with Place
Learn about my acclaimed project The Feminine Landscape, including the history of this project, the meaning behind it, my artistic influences and approaches, and a discussion about how I create the images logistically in the field, and how I approach post processing.
FINDING YOUR OWN PATH: Reimagining the Artist Residency
In this presentation, I challenge photographers to reimagine what a creative residency can be – and perhaps should be – in today's world. From moving to a national park for a month, attending a writing retreat, or simply using an available empty space adjacent to a place I love, discover how I found alternative opportunities and tailored my residency experiences to lead to more authentic work. Learn about my strategies to secure funding, housing, and meaningful opportunities that align with my artistic vision, schedule, and creative goals.
