Description

This one-day class invites you to think critically about color in your photographs.  We'll briefly overview the history of color photography, from early trials in 3-color process by Thomas Sutton to the digital pixel palettes of today's Photoshop world.  Then we'll go hands-on, making photographic stories that challenge our interpretation of color.  You'll discover what makes a great color vs black & white photograph, and become familiar with critical terms like luminance, saturation and hue.  

By the end of the day, you'll significantly enhance your creative toolbox with a deeper understanding of color concepts, how it relates to composition and mood, and how to employ color towards blazing your own visual style.
