4-Week Virtual Fine Art Photography Workshop, January-February 2022

ONLINE WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM Friday, January 7 – Saturday, February 5, 2022

A four-week learning experience . . . conducted by Rick Hulbert, RCA. As an Academician in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and recently retired Architect and Urban Designer, Rick is uniquely qualified to present a wide-ranging series of learning experiences.

Is this Fine Art Photography Workshop for You?

You might be a very structured, organized, rational, and logical individual who now wants to discover and assert your creative side.

You might be a photography enthusiast who wants to step up your game and create some jaw-dropping images.

You might have more gear than you really need and now want to know how to make great photographs.

You might want to win some (or more) awards or be handsomely rewarded for your images.

You might be concerned that Fine Art Photography is just too “software-intensive” and would rather be recording scenes instead of sitting in front of a computer.

You might want to participate in an intensive 4-week experience that will provide you with knowledge that is personalized for your own needs and objectives.

Location

The Virtual Workshop will allow you to participate from any location from which you can log into. There will be a total of six separate class meetings and presentations on Zoom. Personal hands-on photography can be enjoyed in any location of your choice.

How will you benefit from this
Virtual Fine Art Photography Workshop?

You will learn what is involved in creating your own unique artistic approach to photography that has a chance to be considered fine art.

You will learn how people “see and perceive” the world around them and, perhaps more importantly, be able to anticipate how people will react to your images.

You will be able to experience the process of creating Fine Art images from “pre-visualization” through to and including “re-visualizing” selected digital files using Lightroom Classic software along with a variety of other potential software options.

Your Instructor will be Rick Hulbert
