CREATIVE IMAGE DESIGN IS IN THE HEART
During the one-week photo workshops are already being expanded existing knowledge specifically. Photo-genres such as portrait, landscape, still life, action and night scenes are brought into focus, the creative image design at the center. Ambitious photographers learn to focus attention, as we are grappling with design elements such as perspective, light and composition. Thereafter, each participant is to be in a position to photos of the "normal screen out to shoot." No workshop is like the previous workshop - we work in different locations and vary the procedures. Thus, for example once occupied a workshop offer new suggestions wake momentum and consolidate the content. Small groups allow intensive lessons with efficient workshop success.
