Knowledge of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture required for Advanced Workshops.

As addressed in the Intermediate workshop, practice makes perfect, and that plays a larger role in the Advanced workshop where we explore multiple sites in different lighting situations. Each site is pre-scouted, and specific compositions are discussed before you explore using your own creative direction. One-on-one discussion and shooting with the instructor are provided at each site. Guided editing time in Adobe Lightroom Classic is provided, allowing the student to hone in on specific challenges within their images. The two most important aspects of the Advanced workshop are plenty of practice time with your camera and subject, and more in-depth critique sessions than provided in the Intermediate workshop.

Admitting what does and does not work in photos allows student photographers to grow. Areas of improvement are not always easy to recognize in your own images; thus, interactive critique sessions will improve your photography. The benefit of learning how to properly critique other photographer’s images will give you a much more balanced approach when critiquing your own. Critiquing your photos quickly on site, is a great skill that will help you capture what you envisioned before editing. Constructively critiquing edited images with fellow photographers is a great way to really dial in your images and determine whether the message and emotion you wanted to express translates.

Review from Google:

“Andrew is both an excellent photographer and accomplished instructor. He makes the foundational concepts and practices required for successful digital photography clear through presentations, guided practice, and terrific written materials. Andrew has the ability to quickly build a positive learning community where people with very different backgrounds and skill sets can come together to experience the kind of fellowship Frank Lloyd Wright established at Taliesin.”
