Michael Seewald's
Photographic Art Classes

Seewald's workshops...the difference over others?
You aren't just driven around to pretty sites,
you are taught how to see, think and
create, like a master, from a master.

'Sun' Diego Classes
Three day

Held in beautiful San Diego California. 
For digital and analog users alike.

Generally,
Only 10 students per three day class!

Short overview of our class.

     Day One - First two thirds of the day, we go over ‘how to see and think like a master artist’; all about the aesthetics of making great art. It covers the multitude of things to include, and to exclude, to make award winners. Last third of class we critique our old art and turn some of them into winners from the thinking processes we just learned. This will be eye opening, especially to the advanced students.
    
   
Day Two-  ‘How to shoot manually and capture stronger images’ combined with including great compositional elements and thought. Combining aesthetics along with the technical. Michael gives us a series of assignments to get us going on his unique way of 'seeing', hard for beginners and advanced alike, all new thinking here we come.

San Diego / Balboa Park locations we shoot in:
1. The 'Spanish Village', a cornucopia of painted walkways and dozens of artist's studios in an old, rustic set of small white buildings made for the 1920 (or some such date) San Diego World's Fair. (As was the entire Park/Museum arrangement).

2. The Botanical Gardens and reflecting pools.

3. The Baroque architecture and arches of the Museums.

4.  Miscellaneous other areas in Balboa Park.

    Days Three: In the morning we shoot in and around the grounds at Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. Lunch is at Keno's Restaurant in Encinitas and then we create at the Self Realization Fellowship botanical gardens.

This third day helps cement this new thinking process, and students have reported they now feel comfortable with all the new concepts and can shoot in all manual settings with confidence.

        "..I thought he did a great job of explaining everything. He was very patient with us and didn't make us feel bad when we didn't know or understand things...."

San Diego-
'How to make great
portraits for fun or profit' class.

Yes, for decades Michael shot weddings, senior portraits, boudoir, commercial (jewelry, food, architecture, etc.) all but underwater (except when he accidentally dropped his camera overboard) to ensure monies to support for the art gallery side of things kept going.

MUST be a Seewald "3 day" graduate.

Seewald grads only- click here for more
info / dates on this Portrait class.
 

Not bad, a roadmap on how to create great art for the rest of your life! Basically, you get a college degree and 40 years of the important things Michael has gleaned, all for price of a cheap digital camera.  And without compositional and depth creating knowledge, combined with the most important things/tools to know about your camera, you will get nowhere fast; no matter how great the camera!!!

"I think I am light years ahead of where I would have been; I was learning by trial and error, and I didn't even know what I was looking for- now I have direction. I know the mechanics of good photos. I am seriously considering a new career in photography as a result of this class."

Bobby Brooks

"Oh my, we didn't expect this!  Maybe we should add
another element to the 'class warning', huh?"  MS/VS
