Creating The Intimate Image
Uncovering, Nurturing and Expressing Your Unique Vision
 

Picture the essence of being. A glance in the mirror of your true nature. A communication of your most personal response to your surroundings. Feelings come alive again with every look; a return to the moment in-total. This is the Intimate Image.
 
 
 
  • Learn to use the built-in features of your camera to your advantage
  • Learn the  proper use of filters and other accessories
  • See how the features of software tools such as Lightroom and Photoshop can complement the capabilities of your camera
  • Learn to see things you’ve never seen before by:
    • opening yourself to an uncluttered awareness
    • breaking through your preconceptions into new realms of possibility
  • Learn how to make images that embody the totality of your experience
  • Rediscover the child’s sense of awe
 
 

As children we saw a world of wonder. We found out for ourselves, aware of no barriers to our curiosity. The world reflected our inner light. As we became older and “wiser” we began to accept the reasoning of others in lieu of our own experience. We sorted and cataloged until all was explained. Our picture of the world became set.

This workshop shows you how to release your conditioned worldview and reacquire your child’s eye. You'll learn how to break through the barriers that prevent you from really seeing. And, you'll work to incorporate the totality of your sensations, thoughts and feelings into your images, so that you may express the intimate.

 
 
The Intimate Image Workshops consist of digital presentations, discussions, and exercises John has designed to encourage participants to look at their surroundings with eyes uncluttered by old preconceptions, opening the door for your subject's essence to take center-stage in your images. Handouts are provided to supplement the presentations. Participants will take part in group-critique of their work, in a supportive and constructive atmosphere.
