INTENTIONAL COMPOSITION THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY: CREATING MORE INTERESTING AND MEMORABLE PICTURES

Registration opens Thursday, August 28, 2025.

Photographers know that creating more interesting pictures requires perceiving your subject more deeply, capturing its essence, and connection with the viewer. But how does the viewer perceive the image? Can you affect their perception? So many books are filled with dos and don’ts. How to make sense of it all? Through a discussion of 5 main strategies, instructor Ray Schneider will share ideas he has come to depend on for creating more interesting and memorable works.

Students will have the opportunity to share photographs that they have taken based on what they have learned. And Ray will demonstrate the use of a few popular photo editing programs. Students of all levels of experience and with all camera types are welcome, including phone cameras!
