COMPOSE WITH CLARITY

If you’re like many outdoor photographers, you love to explore nature, find beautiful scenes and interesting moments to photograph – but you struggle to translate that experience into your images.

Or, perhaps you’ve come home with some “keepers” after you’ve spent thousands of dollars on photography workshops, and you’d like to know how to continue that momentum after the workshop.

Wouldn’t it be nice to figure out how to capture the mood or feeling of a moment even in your own local landscape?

“Learn the rules of composition and then break them.”

Look up ‘photography composition’ on the Internet, and you’re likely to come across an endless number of resources that suggest this approach to learning composition.

I’ve never found this advice to be very helpful, have you?

Why have rules just to break them, and what does it even mean to break the rules? I think this approach is vague and confuses a lot of photographers, including myself when I first started to study composition more deeply. And because it’s vague advice, it also won’t help you develop your own unique style of visual expression.

There is a better way to learn photography composition.

What You’ll Learn Instead

In this live, interactive workshop, you’ll gain a solid understanding of how compositional elements and the tools of compositional arrangement work together to create compelling landscape or nature images.

You will learn how to see light, lines, shapes, color, contrast, and many other elements in a scene, and how they can be used to support your main subject.

You’ll also gain insights into how to strengthen your visual message based on how our brains perceive information and based on what you want to say with your image.

You will learn an approach to photography composition that will help you create original and compelling images regardless of your gear or location.

You will also receive a simple and actionable process for how to approach composition that eliminates confusion, indecision, and frustration.

You will learn how to compose with clarity!

"As with all the courses Brenda does she is well prepared, the concepts are clear and the examples are good. I got a lot out of the course."

"This workshop was packed with useful information. It will take me many hours in the field to unpack and put to use everything that Brenda conveyed in these two short hours of instruction!"

"The best thing about this workshop is that I got to hear what Brenda's thought process was while composing her photos. Also seeing what did and didn't work (and why it didn't work) from the creator's point of view in a live presentation was so much more instructive than reading it out of a book."

"The workshop was very well organized and the materials were professionally presented in a very clear and concise manner. I learned a lot and feel that my money was well spent."

"The workshop was well structured and very informative. A great resource to any photographer."

"I have spent more than a quarter-century in classrooms and heard countless lectures. During my professional life, I have listened to many, many presentations. Your presentation was one of the best. I was quite impressed. Thanks for doing such a great job."

Who Is Compose With Clarity For?

The Compose With Clarity Live Virtual Workshop is designed for hobbyist photographers who have a good working knowledge of how to use their cameras, a good understanding of exposure, and would like to know how to approach the process of composition in a more creative way.

After purchase, you will be sent a link to choose the date/time above that suits your schedule.

By attending live, you will be able to ask me questions and connect with other photographers in a small group setting (maximum 15 per class).

All registrants will receive a workshop workbook and a link to the recorded workshop after the event.

I look forward to seeing you inside the workshop!
