The Expressive Image

The difference between the commonplace and the truly expressive photographic image often attests to effective use of the components of visual design. For example: framing the subject, figure/ground relationships, balance, perspective, pattern, texture and colour. Sharron will focus on this vocabulary of visual design to help build your strengths, rise above your weaknesses and develop an expressive personal photographic style. She will offer a variety of creative techniques and tips and include a slide/sound presentation.
