Seeing at Night is not only challenging physically but also challenging for the creative eye. This course will focus on the creative aspects; compositions, planning, and adapting and evolving with a scene under starlight. All levels of photographers are welcome, and no experience in night photography is required.
The technical aspect of Night Photography has a steep learning curve and can take a lot of focus at first – many of my courses spend a lot of time on technique. In this seminar, we will focus on the essential creative components of a strong night photo. Some of the specific topics in the class:
Taking it in and looking at a scene
Being uncomfortable and creating
Scouting, planning, waiting
Compositions: lines, angles, framing, storytelling, feeling, etc.
Breaking the rules
Experimenting – learning from both success and failure
Analyzing images
Adding artificial light and using light pollution creativity
The unknown and unplanned
The class will run for approximately 2 hours, followed by a 30-minute Q&A. Priority will be given to non-technical questions, but if you have something you really want to know, we’ll likely have some time!
Can’t make the live session? A recording will be available for seven (7) days after the event.
