Creative Arts Life Coaching

The Artist Within

Creating or Unblocking | Recreating the Artist Within

Lifecoaching Sessions, Photography, Discussions and recreating the artist within...

Being creative for self satisfaction, feeling good, and even excited about what you want to accomplish takes motivation and a clear mind. If your mind is jumbled and your life is crazy the creative process can be tainted, you can feel negatively challenged, hence making the creative process seem like climbing a huge mountain.
The creative process is different for everyone. This workshop is focused on you, figuring our what makes you come alive creatively, like you once were or perhaps simply different so you can find the creatively that has somehow gotten locked away and why.
Artists workshops have been a good place to start to get you seeing and feeling your creative self once again. If you are struggling this could be just what you need.

Attendees should bring to these classes/workshops their camera and gear, laptop and software that they use for their Photographs. Please bring at least 100 of your latest images so we can look at where you are now. There will be life coaching sessions, discussions, writing exercises, shooting at various locations, possible computer processes demonstrations. We will create images together based on your discovery and coaching sessions. Be prepared to talk about various subjects as realized through the creative process.

Street & Night Photography

Street and or Night Photography

Street Photography is a very interesting part of Photography, as Journalism is to telling a story. Being in the streets of New Orleans is always very interesting as there are so many different facets on the streets of New Orleans every day.
Immersing yourself in the local culture and experiencing life here gets one primed to start shooting pictures as life unfolds quickly - every minute - either in black and white or color. One can create the best Street photographs' here, being spontaneous and mindful of the culture.
We offer Workshops to help you become more intuitive, with attention to detail and composition. Being more intuitive and spontaneous gets more thought provoking images.   
There is an art to Street Photography and the people who populate urban locations, cities, and foreign places.  We go over gear, safety, light, preparation, travel, color, black and white, some computer imaging and learning how to understand your inner photographer.  Vicki Stanwycks personally coaches and works with you in the classroom and on Location to create, using the techniques learned in this class.

Exposure & Color in Photography

Exposure and Color in Photography Workshop | Day or Weekend Workshops

So... You have heard about it, you have read about it, you have even tried to understand it... You have photographed images - using it..., and have tried to make great photographs trying to understand, and for some, "It" is a mystery... In order to create a photograph, we must have it...  the - Light. Using light effectively helps us make better Photographs. In order to create an image, we need light...
We cover the basics of light and how to see, measure and track the light. This workshop is for the natural light enthusiast who respects and loves the landscape and realizes that light has many aspects from color to capture. Understanding light and how to manipulate light through exposure, will make all the difference to your images. Anyone can shoot a picture, it's what we do with the light that makes all the difference to the quality of the image.
This workshop enhances your photography and helps you pinpoint the right exposure so you can make better images. How we work with an image in post production on the computer will make a difference. Light is essential to the life of the image.
the  Workshop starts off in the classroom  going over various techniques and brings us out into the field shooting different situations where we learn to use light to create mood, impact, what's best for color, for people, interiors, exteriors, and mixed lighting situations. Mixed lighting situations can be challenging and knowing what to do by knowing how to analyze light using our techniques will greatly benefit any shooter. If you are interested in understanding how to use light more effectively this workshop is for you.

Workflow & Editing Workshop

Your Computer can make or break your final images. How you  handle your images with your computer and software can dictate how you see your images in the future.  todays darkroom is the computer.  
In this workshop we help you create a digital workflow so you can process your images and get your final images to look more like how you saw the image when you created the photograph.
Back in the day, Processing film and printing photographs took years to master and learn.   Now, believe it or not, we still have to do the same, just differently. 
We use our Digital Darkroom - Computers and Laptops to process our images and printers to print the images - be it a home printer or a lab. This workshop is deigned for those who want to create a digital workflow using computers and software, for post processing, organizational purposes and image output for simple prints, to more extensive Giclee Printing and various Photo Products that are in most cases a click or two away. Let us help you with this process.

Classes, Critiques and Workflow

Weekend Workshops gives us more time to hone your photography skills in classes, by looking at what you have done while shooting, then following a critique of your work.  Much learning can be received by looking and seeing what could may have done differently which sparks more questions and more learning.

"Vicki Stanwycks Captures the Essence of New Orleans for Art or Assignments"

Aspiring Artists

"When we pick up our cameras we aspire to create... When we make images we want our images to be art. Art is very subjective and it all starts with what we like to look at and what we see in our minds eye..."
Creating art is a journey and it has to start somewhere. It starts first in your heart and takes flight through passion. No matter the medium if you feel it to make it, you will do anything to make it happen.

Fine Art Photography

Stanwycks creates Photography, Paints, Paintings and Giclée's, Teaches workshops and classes and goes on Assignment - either in the studio or on-location.  We all aspire to be an artist and create the best that we can.
To be a photographer it takes a whole lot of commitment and a lot of attempts to make images that reflect our vision.  Being an image maker is not something that happens over night. to be an artist it takes time and patients to learn and execute the craft.
Stanwycks Photography, Black and White in Mexico at the Beach

It's How we See...

"My career has been a great journey of photographing nuts and bolts to beautiful things and people. I have taken some of the most mundane things and made them sparkle because I saw something mundane as a gem in the rough.
It's how we see that can make all the difference in the world. Industrial Photography can be awesome, at least to me. Someone else not so much. be good at what you like to see and show it in your images."

-Vicki Stanwycks

To Create is to be fearless...

"I started traveling and creating images wherever and whenever I  could. To create is to be fearless, don't be afraid of what others think. If you want to do something  - you might think, it's been done before and stop before you start.  A wise woman told me once, "It's all been done before, do it anyway!"  And that has been my light to do what inspires me to try, learn, fail and do it again.

It's the fails that make you better and the wins that keep you trying for more. "
