Overview

How to pack powerful emotion and meaning into photos of ordinary people living ordinary lives
.

Wedding, news, advocacy, or corporate photography requires more than just split-second reflexes. One must be able to recognize that single instant when the characters and elements in an unstructured, impromptu scene merge into a significant image.

This is the reason some news photographs and street photographs of ordinary life remain etched in memory.

They pack powerful meaning into a single photo, and also invite the viewer to read his own experiences in the photo.

Award-winning digital artist, both here and abroad, and one of the most talented photographers, Rommel Bundalian will show you how to take photographs that editors love, even if they are just photos of ordinary life and ordinary people.

This course provides live instructor-led demonstration and discussions, student engagement and offline hands-on exercises.
