What makes an unforgettable image? Concepts to consider when taking photographs go far beyond technical concerns (or, conversely, just clicking away hoping for magic). PhotoMidwest is hosting a virtual talk by photographer David duChemin drawing from his latest book, The Heart of the Photograph: 100 Questions for Making Stronger, More Expressive Photographs. He will focus on 10 suggestions that are likely to make even your phone pics more compelling. Find tickets for the lecture on Eventbrite.
press release: PhotoMidwest Virtual Lecture with David duChemin. $25.
Illustrated by inspiring photographs from around the world, this webinar will discuss techniques and ways of thinking about the creation of images designed to engage human imagination and emotion, including questions of vision and intent, the use of space and time, the creation of depth, and the use of point of view.
David will also discuss mood and mystery, storytelling, and what this all means for our choices of moments as well as more practical considerations, like the more creative use of exposure tools, composition, and more.
This will be a compelling lecture with (and about) heart that you will remember for a long time.
