Evening Presentation:
MASTERING COMPELLING IMAGES FOR CLIENTS AND COMPETITION, with CARL CAYLOR
When we view a flat piece of paper, drawing, photograph or painting; we see things differently than in actual life. This program is going to show how we can use cognitive concepts to create images that people will find powerful and balanced. Yes, I will discuss the importance of image competition and how to use the experience as an educational tool. We will talk about light, composition, color harmony and much more. You will see many examples and hear analogies that help us to remember the concepts we discuss together. I will share darkroom and post processing skills as well as many frequently seen mistakes and how to avoid or fix them. After this program, you will hear a little voice in your head each time you look through your camera. You will listen to this voice and make powerful decisions when creating for you or your guests.
A few nuggets to expect:
Psychology of the portrait process
Choosing the right light… quality and quantity
Composition and balance
The Math and the Art
Custom print preparation concepts
