Forest photography can be tough with scenes that often appear cluttered and chaotic at first view. Even in the most beautiful forests finding a composition from the smallest scene or lone tree to something wider can take patience and effort along with an open mind to what you might find. I will share my successes and challenges with forest and tree photography over the years. As someone who grew up surrounded by trees as a child, I find being around them not only enjoyable for photography but beneficial to our well-being.

• There doesn’t seem to be an international standard for portrait pricing like there is for weddings. Why is it that people can charge so much for weddings, yet not for portraits? Portraits are the one single most important thing you will own for your family, and it just isn’t always valued.
• Sue discusses the evolution of a portrait, pricing your portraiture, and how she struggled with her own issues around receiving money. She helps us to understand that the most important thing to learn is to price yourself FOR YOURSELF. You need to say it, believe it, and value it.

• Drawing upon inspiration from abstract expressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Georges Seurat and Georgia O’Keefe, award-winning Colorado-based fine art nature photographer, Charles Needle, will explore ways you can craft painterly/abstract images in nature using nothing more than your camera (or smartphone). In the first half of this presentation, Charles will describe the process of using multiple-exposure and long-exposure techniques to transform everyday scenes into visual masterpieces.
• Then, in the second half, Charles will show how you can go beyond documentation to create artistic and unusual close-up/macro images both in the field and in your own backyard. Using a fun, easy-to-understand, step-by-step approach, Charles will define and illustrate in-camera shooting techniques such as “Multiple-Exposure Monet” (a technique he invented), Multiple-Exposure Tilt, Multiple-Exposure Rotate & Zoom, Soft-Glow Montage, Composite Montage, Intentional Camera Movement and more. Charles will also explain how you can make poetic and imaginative closeups using a telephoto lens to “shoot through,” a closeup lens/diopter in conjunction with a macro lens to enter a magical abstract universe, a Lensbaby to embrace blur, or a wide-angle lens to get super close and show a subject in its environment. You’ll come away from this jam-packed session inspired to craft your own artistic, expressive imagery, equipped with new knowledge and skills, ready to unlock your creative potential and see the world around you with fresh eyes.

• During this presentation, she will explore the ideas and techniques of seeking such simplicity, both in the field and during post-processing.

In many ways modern landscape photography has become all about the Trophy Shot. An endless contest to see who can visit the most epic locations under the most epic conditions, in order to shoot the most epic photos. While this can be fun, ultimately it has its problems, such as reducing a place's value to solely how beautiful it is. Not to mention putting too much pressure on whether or not you come home with a specific photo, instead of the process of exploring and creating freely. In this presentation, Josh will speak about how to move away from 1-dimensional trophy shooting and onto a more satisfying, multi-layered approach that allows you to build meaning and deep personal connection with your subject. You will learn the incredible value of taking on personal photo projects, as well as the 6 types of photos you need to fully illustrate any meaningful story you wish to tell.
