"Expanding your Creative Limits " John Gladman and Mark Rose. Segment 1 Intermediate- Advanced Level Class Limit 15 Students www.johngladman.com

 

 This class will be about expanding your creative limits or more like discovering that there are no limits to your creative abilities. Better looked at like a creative revival! There will be discussions on life, energy, and living a happier life and how translates into running a better studio and creating better images for your clients.

You will be asked to bring up to four images (in digital form on a flash drive or bring your laptops) and may be sent out on an assignment to shoot. There will be a senior safari lead by Mark and a family safari by John. We will critique your work, with an honesty that may seem harsh, but will allow you to grow. You will be forced to look at our work (critiquing of our work is optional). There will be demonstrations and talk designed to help you avoid the problems that plague you. You’ll be nagged into improving your images. There won’t be enough time to do all the shooting, editing, critiquing, talking, and looking at our work that you’ll want to do. You will be overwhelmed.

This workshop is not about using a computer to manipulate your images. It’s about how to look for, see, and evaluate your images. It’s about finding the style that is all yours and learning how to express it. It is most certainly not about Photoshop, which we may or may not not discuss. You will end up a better photographer, if not a better human being.
