Creating More Interesting and Memorable Pictures

 

Photographers and painters alike know that creating more interesting pictures requires perceiving your subject more deeply, capturing its essence, what makes it unique.  And if your connection to the scene is heartfelt, even better, because creating great pictures is more than a technical pursuit. Then there is the viewer.  How does the viewer perceive the image?  Why?  How can you affect their perception?  So many books are filled with compositional rules, techniques, dos and don’ts, but how to make sense of it all? 

 

During this presentation Ray will help you put it all together.  Through a discussion of 5 main strategies, he will explain the difference between seeing and perceiving, and share ideas he has come to depend on, many of which come from the world of art and composition, Gestalt, evolutionary, and photographic psychology, for creating more interesting and memorable works.
