As listed in the course description: “This is an intermediate through advanced photo course in a weekend for those who know how to use their camera and want to get the most out of it.”

As such, it may not be appropriate for ASMP general members, but it would behoove ASMP student level members, or serious photo hobbyists our members may know, to take this course.

Also from the course description:

Some of what you will learn:

√ Lighting:  Best uses of different light sources on location and in the studio. Hard, soft and in between.

√ Quality of light – brightness, contrast & color (type of light, white balance and time of day).

√ Composition: balance, line, shape, texture, repetition, symmetry, etc.

√ Prospective [sic]: making 3-dimensions in a 2-dimensional medium

√ Storytelling: with a single photo or multiple photos

√ The importance of intent and communicating your ideas

√ Effective use of foreground, mid-ground and background

√ Workflow – Camera, preproduction, production, post production, computer applications, delivery and archiving                       

√ Lens choices
