Mastering Natural Light Photography: On Location at the Santa Cruz Harbor
Are you ready to take dramatic, professional-looking photos of your family, friends and the world around you? It all starts with seeing the light! Light is at the essence of photography, and knowing how light behaves and how to manage it is the critical first step to great photographs. It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out in photography or have years of experience - this workshop will give you knowledge and tools to transform your photo skills to make extraordinary images! Perfect for anyone doing landscape, portrait or travel photography.
August 3, 2024, 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Macro & Close-Up Photography: An Outdoor Workshop at UCSC Arboretum (Cabrillo College Extension Workshop)
Focus your lens on the small details of life and be prepared to look at the world around you in a whole new way! Enjoy a day outdoors at UCSC Arboretum where we will enjoy focusing our lenses on the extraordinary details found in the extensive gardens and rare plant collections.
You can use a cell phone, point and shoot or DSLR camera during the workshop. We will review the unique aspects of macro photography: tools, lighting, focusing approaches, as well as creative composition techniques.
Aug 17-18, 2024, 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Blurring the Lines: Art Journaling and Visual Storytelling
Break out of your routine in this retreat-style workshop and give yourself the gift of creative space and time as you explore and grow in wildly different directions. Learn techniques to create a visual journal as you work with prompts and ideas that will be sure to inspire you! Allow your creativity to flow free as you blend writing, photography, collage, imagery and color to create a beautiful art journal and visual diary. More than a how-to class, we focus on the creative process itself, and how to develop your unique artistic voice through mixed media exploration. Keeping a visual creative journal helps you to live life more deeply. This is NOT a class in scrapbooking, crafts, or bookmaking. It is a tool to awaken your senses and help you experience the world through your artist's eyes. You will leave the workshop with the beginnings of an inspired art journal that incorporates the power of your own words and images.
