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 life is crazy, the creative process can be tainted, one can feel negatively challenged, making the creative process seem like climbing a huge mountain.
The creative process is different for everyone. This workshop is focused on you and figuring out what makes you come alive creatively...
  • What makes you come alive Creatively and stimulates you creatively now
  • Brining the passion back like you once were or perhaps simply different so you can find the creatively that once was somehow gotten locked away and why.
Artists workshops have been a good place to start to get you seeing and feeling your creative self for the first time or once again. If you are struggling this could be just what you need for either the new artist or a creative individual. Call for a consultation, we would like to help.
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.

Using Your Camera to Tell Stories...

Photography in general alludes to fun and excitement. Photography also brings one to many places both in your minds eye and in the actual photograph. We travel to exotic places with the idea in mind to create equally exotic Photographs. We are travelers, we are adventure seekers and we want to see and do more and capture it through our cameras.
However if we don't know how to do it well, all that excitement dies fast when our Photographs don't look like what we felt and saw. Good Photography creates a feeling and better photography get us excited. The old cliché that;

"A picture is worth a thousand Words!"

It's true... I would like to think and hope that some images are worth more words and some Photographs do all the talking. Wouldn't you like to be that Creator? Wouldn't you like to create pictures that spoke to your viewing audience? Take the first step with us and we will get you on that path today. We will help you understand photography and it's language so much better. You will see!

Street and or Night Photography

Street Photography is a very interesting part of Photography, as Journalism is to telling a story.  There are so many different facets to Street Photography.

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. Being more intuitive and spontaneous gets more thought provoking images.   

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 & Light Photography Workshop

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...

This  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.
