I will show you some inspiring example photos to help get you started. I will cover some basic color theory so you understand how to use contrasting colors to make an image vibrate with energy, or monochromatic colors to create a feeling of peace. 

Some of the topics we will play in the three 20 minute assignments.....

You will have a chance to try these out right away with my guidance. You will receive individual coaching and critique while we are in the field shooting. This way you can be confident that you will be able to repeat the process next time you are out on a shoot. We will work with color, and composition to make our photos come to life. As always, this is a non technical jargon zone. It is all about the creative act of seeing and capturing the moments of life with a fresh eye.
