STUDENT WORK

When I was living in Colorado Springs,  for 3 years I held workshops for a diverse mix of people who shared a passion for photography and wanted to improve their image-making. Imagine committing to meeting twice a month for 8 months! Well, we all enjoyed the experience, obviously learned a lot and the slide show below is a testament to their accomplishments.

To view it as a slide show, just click any one and use your arrow keys to progress. To exit, you can hit your Esc key.

It’s important to understand that I was essentially testing whether my ideas about a unique and radical way of teaching composition, i.e. the artistic side of photography, was valid – or not. These “clinical trials” proved that my ideas were – and still are – as sound as science, as my students proved in the excellent ways they interpreted their assignments.

These photos are among their best and I am so pleased to share them with you. From backyards to faraway places, from ordinary to extraordinary subjects, they found and captured great subjects while applying the 5ive Factors for Fantastic Photography.  THEY DID IT AND SO CAN YOU!
