FINE ART
In this workshop we will discuss all aspects of creating a poignant, meaningful portrait series, including the importance of communication skills, the psychology of dealing with people, design continuity of your work, and the element of trust within the artistic exchange. This course also stresses the importance of developing a conscientious work ethic and challenging yourself on a regular basis to produce new bodies of work within specific periods of time. All students will choose and produce a personal portrait series with a minimum of six images.
Contemporary Photography is a process of transforming ideas into images, and images into objects. The photographer acts as a channel through which this progression can evolve. This course will investigate this process and the use of photography as a tool for individual expression—not just in terms of innovative composition and interesting camera techniques, but more importantly, as an exploration into the fundamental principles of contemporary visual art.

This workshop focuses on a variety of the best post-production tools and techniques to analyze, correct and reconstruct images of people.

Photoshop is more than simply a tool to remove unwanted blemishes, whiten teeth, or purge excess pounds.
