Here we go!
Montreal Photography Workshops by New Wind Workshops
Ateliers Photo Montreal
Alright kids, here are the details. I have teamed up with C2 Studios to launch a full line of courses and workshops. Cassandra from c2 will be teaching the Beginners class which is open to anyone from point-and-shooters to DSLR owners as well as the Photoshop courses.
I will be teaching the Starter DSLR course, the Intermediate and the Advanced. Through in class presentations, assignments and a lot of discussion we will promote a highly interactive and creative environment where you will be encouraged to learn and to further explore your passion. I will show you how to combine your passion, your eye and your camera to discover, develop and refine your photographic vision. I will teach you how to make beautiful and meaningful photographs straight out of the camera without relying too heavily on post-production. Also, you will have fun, lots of it!
Here is how the classes break down:
Starter DSLR is aimed at people who have started taking photographs and once in a while get a good one, they take snapshots and have definitely felt the bite of photography but really do not know where to go with it. They are intimidated by all of the buttons on the camera, all of the lenses available to them, all of the accessories. If this sounds like you, then you have come to the right place!
I will walk you through the myriad of settings and help you figure out which ones you should know. We will talk about the basics of exposure, composition understanding and reading light. We will go slow, let it all sink in. I will give you weekly assignments to go out and practice what we have discussed and review your photographs the following week. We will have fun!
The first Starter DSLR session will begin on the 30th of January 2012 and run for 8 consecutive Monday nights.
Intermediate is for you folks who can once in a while take a good picture but you aren’t too sure how it happened. You have been taking photographs for a while, you are starting to go online and read and interact on forums. You want to buy more gear (no, you don’t have to…), you may own a book or two. At the end of the day though, after going out for 6 hours to take pictures you still feel frustrated at the results.
In this class we will talk about advanced exposure settings. We will discuss composition in depth, how to effectively use color, how to make beautiful black and whites. How you can pre-visualize your final photograph. I will encourage you to start thinking about your personal vision, to start exploring it and discussing it. You will begin to Make pictures, not Take them! We will have FUN!
The first Intermediate session will begin on the 31st of January 2012 and will run for 8 consecutive Tuesday nights.
Advanced is the culmination of the experience. This is where we begin to discuss specific shooting situations. This is where you come if you have a photographic vision you really want to explore and expand upon. You may have a specialty you really enjoy, such as landscape, street, travel etc…
In this course we will explore the idea behind evoking emotion in your photographs, how to conceptualize, how to visually tell a story. We will also discuss how to make your final edit of your work. How do you conquer obstacles you will face as you evolve into a more rounded and experienced photographer.We will have LOTS OF FUN!
The first session of Advanced courses will begin shortly, I will follow up with the dates as they become available.
I will also be offering some specialized one day workshops exploring topics such as using just one flash to create beautiful portraits, environmental portraiture, night and low light photography, Photowalks, Adobe Lightroom an so on.
The workshops will take place at C2 Studios in Pointe-Claire, Quebec. We are easily accessible by car and public transit.
