Discovering the Mood and Mystery in our Images

As we have gone through the speaker series over the years, we have learned so much about light, composition, post processing, seeing in black and white, creativity, etc., etc, etc. Well how ‘bout how to communicate more effectively what we are seeing and experiencing within the landscape? I am talking about Mood.

This is a smaller format series with only 3 speakers, but these are people whose images portray and communicate a specific level of depth and patience. We start with Croatia native Franka Gabler on Conveying Mood and Capturing the Essence, move to East Coast based Michele Sons for the Art of Fog, before wrapping up returning speaker Michael Frye and his dazzling presentation A Sense of Mystery.

This is not designed to be a revolutionary simple fix to your photos rather a much more in depth look on how you can leave some mystery in your images, have our images symbolize something more than the obvious, or inspire us to see the landscape differently.

The speaker series from Nature Photography Classes are a unique opportunity to hear from and interact with people that rarely speak with audiences and are considered some of the best photography educators in the world.
