Composition and Landscape Photography at White Sands

Instructor: Barbara Brundege

Although photographers must be concerned with equipment and technique, they sometime forget that photography is a means of self-expression which involves one crucial element above all others: composition.

This is a 3-day composition workshop for all levels of artists working with 2-dimensional art forms. During an intensive weekend exploration of composition, participants will progress from basic design elements through advanced compositional techniques and end with a discussion focusing on application of the painting techniques of Chinese watercolor artist Hokusai and Southwest artist Georgia O’Keefe to extend harmony and balance to photographic composition. The result is renewed excitement and a fresh perspective. The workshop will include an extensive slide presentation, group critique and field sessions at White Sands National Monument.
