This masters-level class will emphasize how to coordinate color with structural elements in a composition, building on the use of color theory and color schemes as a compositional tool covered in part I (May 2022). Over the course of three classroom sessions, we will consider how various color schemes enhance other compositional elements to stir a response in viewers. The vibrant autumn colors of The Morton Arboretum will serve as our palette during two field sessions.
This class is a continuation of the May 2022 session, but participation in the May class is not a prerequisite. All photographers who have a foundational understanding of the manual DSLR controls on their camera are welcome.
This program meets on-site at the Arboretum.
Instructors: Will Clay and David Schooley, nature photographers
