Slices of a Story

“Your photographs should be slices of a story that motivate your viewer to fill in the gaps and imagine the rest.” – Oded Wagenstein

Student Patricia Tedeschi’s images do exactly that. She came across the above quote while mulling over story ideas for her final assignment in Part 1 of “Celebrate Your Life in Beautiful Images” and recognized the quote as reiterating the course material for that week. Patricia is currently enrolled in Part 2 of the course, which delves into creative ways to add loved ones in your images.

She’ll also gently nudge, poke and prod you to open up your eyes to see the potential shots waiting just for you. You won’t just develop an eye for taking good pictures, you’ll learn how to put your heart and soul into your photography.Learn how to tell the stories that matter to you.

“I just wanted to thank you for another wonderful class. I have to confess that each week when I read the new assignment, my first reaction was mild panic and a deep certainty that I would not be able to produce anything worthwhile that fit within the parameters you had set. But before I knew it, the ideas started to flow, and I quickly became obsessed (no, that isn’t too strong a word!) with exploring the possibilities. I can honestly say that the photos I produced in response to your assignments are among my favorites. Thanks for bringing out a creative side I didn’t know I had!”

“Thank you so very much for this course! It’s allowed me to take the blinders off and present my images for what I want them to be without being a slave to the “reality” of the camera. I would also add that in conjunction with your printing course, this has been the most useful course I’ve ever taken. Your notes are more than comprehensive and your comments and critiques are direct, clear, and always directed to the improvement of the art.”

” I want to thank you for this class and for your patience and availability to answer all of my questions. I have learned very much through this class. I have used LR in the past, but mostly for editing images. I now have a better grasp in the organization of my images, an even better understanding of editing images, and an understanding of the value of presets. I still have a lot to learn, but this has put me on the road to be able to improve my photography. Again, thank you! ”
