Vision Beyond Documentation with Bob Killen

New! Students who enroll in our fine art photography series will receive a free personal portfolio consultation with Bob. If you enroll any of the Fine Art Series, we will schedule a 30-minute review of your work. Students who enroll for the entire series will receive an ongoing development review with each class.

This workshop is a self-development program that leads you through the process of thematic development, image work planning, and postproduction workflow processes.

Students will discover their own themes, explore their individual artistic wiring, and define their emotional tone. They will also learn how to expand their emotional tone and through pre- visualization exercises and define a project theme. As students define their themes, they will prepare a vision statement for three-four thematic images and in the second day, you will learn to bring that vision to life by developing a thematic production schedule and postproduction workflow. At the end of day two, students will have defined their project, their workflow and post-production schedule. They will leave with a real time workflow for creating photographic fine art images, and a deeper understanding of how digital imaging techniques can advance your vision.

Topics include:

Compositional elements
Mechanical elements
Controlling and selecting revision elements— expanding your creative range Photoshop’s Master tools.
Nuero-aesthetics
Understanding and seeing emotional tone
Thematic work sheets
Post-production work sheets
