Abstract Photography allows the photographer the freedom to discover and explore "ordinary" subjects from a fresh perspective for the sheer beauty of their characteristics of color, texture and shape. Learning abstract photography techniques is an excellent exercise in expanding and refining the "photographer's eye" and enables participants to create images that are uniquely their own, employing strong visual design elements. It is a valuable learning exercise that will improve not just the participant's ability to make abstract imagery, but all types of images from landscapes to portraiture and beyond. The workshop is divided into 3 self contained sessions, each one concentrating on a different technique and allowing for limited image sharing/feedback.

Session 1 Bubble Mania:
Saturday afternoon February 27th from 1- 6 pm
In this session we will explore the shapes of a variety of types of bubbles and how they interact with their environment reflecting nearby objects and colors. (Macro or close-up equipment is required for this session.  Note this equipment can be rented for Canon and Nikon cameras.)

Session 2 Abstract Light Painting:

Saturday afternoon March 5th from 1- 6 pm 
In this session we will explore utilizing "photographic time warp" - moving a variety of interesting light sources to sculpt in the air in a darkened room, creating amazing luminous shapes over the course of a long exposure.

Session 3 Unusual Reflections:
Saturday afternoon March 19th from 1- 6 pm
In this session we will explore making images using a variety of reflective surfaces with unusual shapes and textures that distort subject matter reflections in fascinating ways.
