** REVIEWS

"Absolutely excellent. I was given a lovely camera as a present two years ago but had no idea what to do with all the complex options it came with. So I had hardly used it. After just a couple of hours on this course I had learnt so much that I am planning trips just to take my camera out. There was lots of personal attention from Karla and loads of ideas of simple things to try that were really effective."

JUST BELIEVE in Monochrome. Making a Compeling Statement with Photography

COLOUR VS MONOCHROME

Does the absence of colour in photography make your statement more provocative and powerful?

As a photography instructor, it is my duty to take my students from the realm of "happy snapper" as I call the "point-and-shoot" crowd, to enlightened "photographers" who use their cameras as tools of expression and information.

In this Photographic Thesis, I wanted to use my camera to explore "Woman as the face of hope in humanity".

Mary is shown wea…

KIDS IN ACTION * THE UMBRELLA DUEL

All children are natural photography action stars, whether running, jumping, running, hopping, sliding, skipping or having an umbrella dueling match. Kids are constantly on the move and I love to secretly capture their energy.

As a photographer, you cannot wait for a child to pose. It is best to take aim, control your center point, and keep shooting. Only after you stop shooting will you see which photos have given you the best qualities.

As you will see in this sequence of shots, the pair of dueling umbrella kids transforms and eventually is joined by another child making a unique power of three combination.

Spanish children are allowed a lot of freedom to move about in their communities without fear. While waiting for my café con leche, my attention was drawn to a group of children having fun with their umbrellas. They didn't really need these umbrellas any longer, as the rain had stopped, but that didn't mean that the umbrellas had to go away, if they could become play time…
