The sea, land, city, and mountain-scapes surrounding Vancouver make it an amazing location for landscape photography. Through a series of class discussions and field trips we will examine lighting, elements of composition, and creative camera techniques as tools to capture the essence of our scenes. The elements that distinguish a great landscape image are defined within the class. Practical assignments will motivate students to fine-tune their compositions. The workshop will conclude with a final project aimed at encouraging students to explore their photographic style.
