You receive two of Sarah Marino's sessions, which include “The Expansive Mindset: Practices to Transform Your Photographic Experience” and "Black + White: Bold Interpretations of Nature."

“The Expansive Mindset: Practices to Transform Your Photographic Experience”

Sarah will be speaking to us about “The Expansive Mindset: Practices to Transform Your Photographic Experience” starting with a discussion of how an "expansive view" of photography can take shape: looking for opportunities, not limitations; tuning into your instincts; being more open to light and subjects; leaving expectations at home.

This framework allows space to talk about those ideas along with building your observational skills, developing naturalist practices, and even things like getting out of the hive mind of social media to allow room for your voice to emerge!

"Black + White: Bold Interpretations of Nature"

In this inspiring yet practical presentation, Sarah will share her essential lessons for photographing nature in black and white. These lessons include learning to see opportunities in black and white photography, understanding tones, and learning to work with natural light in creative ways.

Sarah will also share three in-depth case studies, including a discussion about what went into creating each photo, including the technical details, composition, light, and detailed processing steps.

After Sarah's presentation, she will review photos submitted by session participants. This will highlight her lessons and provide practical advice to apply in your own photography.

This talk will help you see the natural world in a totally new way and help open new avenues for your own creative expression.
