Convention Seminars
In addition to selling my imagery at art fairs and conventions, I offer several seminars and roundtable discussions regarding art theory, digital imaging techniques, and their applications & implications in the modern age.
Composition, Color and Photography
Not “How To Photoshop,” but Why to do so. This seminar first teaches a method to critique images, then uses this to explore common photographic cliches. Using principles of color theory and composition, we will seek alternatives to these overused methods.
Convention/CosPlay Photography (Part 1)
We take a lot of pictures at conventions. Let’s think about that before we do. Why do we take them, and how can we fulfill that purpose better?
Convention/CosPlay Photography (Part 2)
You just took a lot of pictures at this convention. What did you learn? What are you going to do with those photos? Attendance of Part 1 is not necessary for this class.
Erotic Photography On the Cheap
How to take hot pictures of yourself or a lover without spending a ton of money.
From Photo To Fantasy
A basic-to-intermediate course on photo manipulation techniques.
Let’s Talk About Art
Talking about the art you’re looking at can often be as complex a skill as making art. One method is demonstrated in this class.
The Low Cut Blouse Phenomenon
Most people are going to see your images on the internet. Their first impression will be formed by a 100×100 pixel thumbnail, and the average person is never going to see a version larger than their monitor. This fact has a surprising number of implications.
Photographic Truth, Myth Of
– A exploration of commonly held (and often untrue) beliefs regarding photography, digital manipulation of images, and the inherent reliability of perception in the modern world. Is there such a thing as Photographic Truth in a world that can make Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars? What does the answer mean to you?
