Workshop
The Impact Factor: Take Your Photography from Good to Great
Photography Workshop with Aaron Hockley
"Nice photo" isn't a bad compliment, but wouldn't it be even nicer to create images that evoke a stronger reaction? While photography is subjective, we can use a variety of objective factors to evaluate our work and elevate it to the next level. This workshop will provide attendees with both the mindset and tools to critique your own photography as well as specific techniques (both in-camera and in post-processing) to create more impactful images.

Topics will include:
- How to objectively critique subjective work using a 12-point framework for evaluating a photograph. These elements include technical criteria, emotional criteria, and how they blend together to create an image that stands out (or ends up unremarkable)
- Capturing impact: how to make choices at the time of capture so that you portray your subject (landscape, human, pets, anything) such that it creates the strongest possible work when you press the shutter button.
- Creating impact: numerous post-processing techniques (demonstrated with a variety of software) to take "good" images to "great" after capture.
Modern cameras (including smartphones) have made it easier than ever to create good photos. The best photographers set themselves apart by taking their work to the next level. Regardless of your genre of photography or your goals, attendees will leave this workshop with new mindsets and new techniques to increase the impact of their photography.
