1st Workshop Segment
Shoot For Story

The power of your photography begins with the visual symbolism of the story you are telling.  “Shoot For Story” introduces the story-perception process and visual literacy using examples of classical and contemporary photos, events, portraits, pets, landscapes and car culture. This interactive workshop is a companion to “Edit For Perception”, but the workshops are self-standing.

2nd Workshop Segment
Edit For Perception

The power of your photography begins with visual symbolism, but editing in Photoshop is the critical step that conveys your story to the viewer. This workshop focuses on editing for perception in the "story-perception" process.  How to use Photoshop editing to control the viewer’s perception, eye flow, and viewing experience is covered with a variety of examples from portraits to groups, events to cultural activities.  This interactive workshop is a companion to “Shoot For Story”, but the workshops are self-standing.  

Workshop Facilitator: Kurt Lightfoot is principal photographer at Déjà Vu Photo Services specializing in narrative photography to capture the story of client events, groups, individuals and cultural activities.
