Discovery & The Creative Choice

This program comes from my observation of those whom I photograph with or teach in a workshop. I have witnessed their struggle to discover worthy images. As with all of my programs, it is also autobiographical in that I have the same struggles. These struggles come from what I call F.U.D. or fears, uncertainty and doubts. Once we encounter F.U.D., it becomes difficult to find something to photograph. The intent of this program is to address the F.U.D. and then I will suggest ideas as to how we can overcome it. I will share concepts, ideas, and images designed to build confidence and inspire any level of photographer. At the end of the presentation, I will show 7 personal “discoveries” with a number of images in an effort to cement the concepts discussed.
