The word “photography” is a combination of the Greek words “photo” (light) and
“graphia” meaning “writing or drawing.” If we are writing with light, how can we also
combine the written word into our work?
Setting our photographic work apart from the masses is a challenge in today’s
culture where we are flooded with imagery. This interactive session is all about inspi-
ration and fine-tuning to add inspirational words, titles, light, polish and presentation
to your processing. You’ll learn ways to develop the complete inspirational package
with your work so that your imagery showcases your style, emphasizes your message,
has flair, is completed with intention, and stands out uniquely above the rest.

This is a 15-minute, 1-on-1 conversation about your work. Prepare to bring five (5) images* of
your bird photography in digital or print format.“When you’re green, you grow. When you’re
ripe, you rot!” (Ray Kroc). We should always be growing as photographers-no matter
how long we have been shooting! Photo critiques, done well, help you grow! Whether
you have had your work reviewed numerous times, or this is your first critique, it can be
an intimidating experience-yet it doesn’t have to be! This experience is different. Lisa
Langell will thoughtfully review your work and provide supportive, friendly and helpful
critiques that are designed to inspire you, rather than intimidate. These sessions are de-
signed to help you learn, grow, be inspired, and find new joy in your work by learning
what steps you can take next to excel. Bring a notepad to take notes.
*Digital presentations should be on your iPad/Tablet or Laptop, or bring them on
a flash drive. Please do not present them from small devices such as a smartphone.
Prints should be at least 10” on the widest side.

Do you like just leaving your camera on “Auto” and let the camera do the
thinking? Many people who own a camera-whether it’s a phone, tablet,
compact camera or DSLR simply want to take quality photographs without
mastering numerous complicated settings. Though manual settings have a lot
to offer in regards to your creative control and image quality, they also require
more work and time.
Today’s “Auto” settings are surprisingly competent. In fact, your camera’s
“Auto” setting is like having a private golf caddy---it does much of the thinking,
deciding, and heavy lifting--allowing you to focus on the fun. This fun and
engaging session will teach you seven powerful, but simple techniques to help
you avoid common mistakes, recognize an image’s potential, and ult imately
capture them beautifully through your lens--all on “Auto.” No settings required.
