with Joseph Meehan

Mar 15, 2017: 9:30am – 5:30pm

Description

Call them winners, call them keepers or just call them photographs I wish I had taken. They are the images that photographers strive to produce. The ones viewers will find appealing at the very least if not fascinating or even emotionally moving. Such pictures often rely on establishing a critical mood, the capture of a particular ambience or the presentation of the subject in some dramatic fashion. In short, these are images in which the photographer moves beyond just recording a subject. Instead, the image is infused with something more because of the extraordinary use of different types of light and lenses as well as the use of unique filter effects to make powerful visual statements.

In this seminar, Joseph Meehan will specifically explain and illustrate those techniques every photographer can use at the time the picture is taken. Much of the material will be drawn from Joseph Meehan’s book, Mood, Ambience & Dramatic Effects in Photography. Attendees will receive a disk with links to all methods described along with a summary of the key information from the seminar.
