Photographing Tulips with Nikon Ambassador Vincent Versace

Sometimes, slowing down to the speed of life is all it takes for us to see the bigger picture of the world around us. One of the life lessons Vincent Versace lives by is that there is just as much grandeur in the simple plainness of your average backyard landscape as there is in a sweeping gesture like the Grand Canyon or the Taj Mahal.

The goal of this workshop is to learn to see a small moment in a big way. It's making an image out of a moment that "takes you" that causes others to proclaim your self expression of that moment as "art". By the end of this two day workshop, you will be able to identify these moments, know what considerations are needed to capture that moment, and then create an image from that captured moment that will result in a file ready for sharing/printing. Simply put, the focus is shooting our subjects at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival and then editing anything from single captured image to multiple captures as we explore just how big a small world is.

Though we will have access to wonderful fields of tulips, in reality, you do not have to travel to faraway and exotic places to create beautiful images. A breathtaking image is as close to you as just opening the back door. This class will be a shooting intensive/shooting theory intensive workshop with the focus being primarily on capturing and documenting the “art” to be found as close as your backyard.

We will endeavor to explore the tools, from the expensive to affordable, the capture techniques, from complex to simple, and what considerations you need to make at the point of capture to generate files to create images that will take the viewer the way the image took you.
