Artist's Light And The Poetic Eye

With Jimmy Katz
Join Bolinas-based photographer Jimmy Katz for an information-packed, fun-filled day. This workshop is designed for film and digital photographers wishing to strengthen their abilities to see and work in color. Through a slide and digital presentation, a critique of students' work, and a planned field session, participants will gain a sensitivity to light and its effects on color, composition, texture, pattern and design. Our main focus is the examination of light and color from a personal point of view. Jimmy will guide students to finding those subjects that inspire them and open the space for participants to see how their unique vision of the world can help to develop an individual style for personal enjoyment or commercial success. In the late afternoon, students will chase the stunning low-angled autumnal light and put into practice concepts learned earlier in the day.
