Carmel / Monterey "These 'three day' and 'one week' Carmel photo class/ workshops
(aka 'fun-shops') are not to be missed.
They generally fill up fast and provide great images that you will be able to
sell, or just appreciate on your walls, for the rest of your life- guaranteed."
MS This is one great place to take an outdoor workshop. We not only learn all of the basics of good compositional factors but all of the technical skills needed to make them. We have a chance to apply all of the new knowledge in one of photography's heartlands. Ansel Adams, The Weston's (Edward, Brett and Cole) and a multitude of other serious fine art photographers (artists) have called this unique place home.
We will usually work many of the areas best photogenic spots: Cannery Row; Big Sur; 17 Mile Drive; Fisherman's Wharf (night photography); Point Lobos; the Carmel Mission; the 'Barnyard' mall with it's terraced flower gardens; Carmel Village and quite a few other locations on and off the beaten path. We will visit many of the photography gallery's in Carmel, as well as the painting galleries. Michael constantly discusses how the compositional elements were used properly, or as in 90% of the time- improperly, and in no time the students are critiquing the art with the same critical eye. *******************************
"Michael, My recent outdoor show in Santee, Ca. was a great success. From
these photos you can't tell, but earlier the venue was packed with people. I was
just so busy listening and talking I didn't have time to take these till it was
over. I can't tell you the number of times people have looked at different
pieces of my artwork and said "Wow!" It is exactly what you said would happen
from the application of your principles. I am really jazzed about Carmel, I have
my room and plane tickets already taken care of....Looking forward to seeing / learning from you again soon. " ******************************* The Three day We will start our 9 hour day Friday at 10 a.m. with introductions and lunch at the Il Fornaio restaurant in downtown Carmel, (attached to the Pine Inn on Ocean Avenue- between Lincoln St. and Monte Verde St.). We will then spend a few hours going over the multitude of things that can make or break our art. Michael has developed, from a lifetime of creating art and studying how the eye views it, a keen ability of creating great compositions with 'controlled eye movement'. You will learn as much as you can take in but much comes from the field practice that is still to take place. Bring 3 or 4 photos with you and Michael will show you how to make your best images even better by applying all of the compositional rules you have just learned to them. (Note: If the class is full, as most are, we may not get to all 4.) We then go and make some new photographs, starting our advanced thinking processes in creating. Class officially ends this day at 7 p.m.. We can then have dinner as a group and these are the times to ask Michael any particulars about his creating, marketing techniques, cameras used, etc.. Michael will do a gallery walk and
critique paintings and photos for those of your that would like to join
him after dinner.
We will progress to the Carmel Mission and work throughout the morning there. We will go back into Carmel for deli-lunch at 1 and resume class at 2.
We will head back for the great afternoon light and work until about 6 p.m. at Point Lobos State Park. We can then take dinner as a group or you can head out on your own.
On Sunday we will start with a group breakfast at 8 a.m. at Em-le's again and then head out to 'make art' at more local locations. Lunch is at 1, on your own, and then we re-group at 2:30. We end at 6 p.m. with a fare-well dinner. That's it for the three day class folks and we will all say our goodbyes. If you are in the one week class (not always offered) you are just getting warmed up for some serious creating adventures still to come. We will return home in a good frame of mind knowing that our art is progressing (slow at first, then faster by the end of the class) in light-year proportions over past growth rates- (see testimonial pages). For the one week class schedule: Same as above, but on Monday we will start our 'week-day' schedule, with a group breakfast starting at 7 a.m., and will work a local area until 1 p.m.. Personal time off will be given until we re-group at 3 p.m., and continue to work/create until 7 p.m.. The class will end with a farewell lunch on Thursday at 1 p.m.. We will most likely have made life-long friends from working side by side for days on end and we will have created (even for those beginners) the start of an award winning portfolio. Note: Some have had their images printed at a local Costco for instant review and gratification of learned competence or off their laptops back at their hotel rooms. They then share them with the other participants at meals the next day. This is definitely encouraged. What a great way to really dive into your ‘fine art’ growth and make some great art worth hanging in your, AND OTHERS', homes. Come and stay in the Carmel area, where Ansel Adams and the f/64 group regularly met and talked art photography.
