Description

Part 1 (1.5 hours)
In this one day hands-on workshop, students will practice taking photographs that convey what they are feeling about a subject. The class will meet at Merwin Meadows or another specified Wilton location. The theme will be self assigned. Students will shoot for 1.5 hours. Fredda Gordon will work one-on-one with students throughout the shoot, teaching fundamental technical knowledge and answering questions. Students will work on enhancing their creative vision through the use of composition, depth of field, motion and more. 

Part 2 (1.5 hours)
After a 15 minute break, the class will reconvene in the classroom. Students will download images to Fredda's computer. The class will view the images on a large screen. Fredda will do minor editing and discuss best practices, commenting on what worked best and what other approaches or techniques might have been used to change or make the image more impactful. Together, everyone will choose each person's best images and put together in a slideshow and present to the class.
