Worldwide, in 1970, there were about 10 billion photographs taken during that YEAR. Today, that same number of images see the light of day every TWO DAYS! With that startling fact in mind, the question for you as a photographer becomes: “Considering the sheer tonnage of photographs currently being made every year, how can I create images that are compelling, interesting and that haven't been done a million times before?” The answer, of course, is that no one has your unique way of seeing. The purpose of this course is to help refine and “bring into focus” your individual visual style, a style that can’t be copied by anyone else. Rather than delving into the mechanical and digital aspects of photography (the camera, lenses, settings) we will instead zero-in on the final product: your unique photographic vision and the compositions that spring out of that vision. *Please note that the meeting dates have been changed from those originally published in the fall 2025 Community Ed catalog.
