If you've ever taken a photo where the resulting image just doesn't live up to the magic that inspired you to take the shot, your photographic subjects, portraits, landscapes, travel photography or close-ups will benefit from the thoughtful use of composition to transform your photography.
Join in a half-day workshop at beautiful Jack London State Park, devoted to the Art of Seeing Composition. Learn from professional photographers John Ricca and Richard Valenti why good composition creates stronger images.
Bring your DSLR, point and shoot or iPhone, camera manual, tripod (if you have one) but most of all bring your enthusiasm to improve your camera skills.
John Ricca is a San Francisco Bay Area fine art photographer and instructor. In addition to traditional landscapes, John “sees” compositions that emphasize shapes, textures, and patterns. He uses the camera to create images that are reminiscent of impressionist, pointillist, and abstract paintings. Visit his website: www.riccapics.com
