About the event

Join me for a hands-on workshop that gives you the insight and tools to master composition. In just two hours, learn to use ten of the most effective composition techniques to make your photographs more expressive, and winning.

We all want to create images that delight the eye and captivate imagination. In this workshop let's learn how!

What we will cover

Through clear examples, lively discussion, and plenty of visual inspiration from the greats, you’ll learn how to:

Handle the tools of framing, perspective, and flow

Recognize and use visual structure effectively

Balance elements for stronger images

Free yourself from rules and formulae

Apply your instinct for aesthetics with flexibly and creativity

Grow confident with your own personal preferences and personality style

Produce images that stand out and win competitions

We’ll break down each “top ten” idea into practical steps you can use right away—whether you shoot landscapes, portraits, street, or travel photography.

What are aiming for

This workshop will give you practical strategies to make your every shot more engaging and imaginative.

Bring your camera and your eye for the possible. Leave with tools and inspiration!

If you wish, you can try out new ideas during the lunch break. Then join back for the afternoon Review session when we will share and learn from each other’s work.

Putting new tools to work and checking results is a superb way to learn.
