Workshop course decription provided by Arthur Meyerson:

This workshop is designed for both amateur and professional photographers wishing to strengthen their abilities to see and work in color.

Through daily shooting assignments, critiques, and discussions, participants acquire techniques to become more sensitive to light and its effects on color, composition, texture, pattern, and design.

Our main focus is on investigating color from a personal point of view.

Arthur guides and inspires participants to see how their unique vision of the world can help to develop and refine an individual style for personal enjoyment or commercial success.

The workshop begins with a review of each photographer’s images and a discussion of personal and career goals. In addition to addressing the aesthetics of color photography, Arthur leads group critiques and spends individual time with each participant. Daily assignments put classroom techniques into practice and take advantage of the stunning light and color of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland area.

Participants leave at the end of the workshop with a more dynamic portfolio, a greater awareness of their strengths and weaknesses, new technical skills, and an enhanced sensitivity to light and color.

Tuition for the workshop is $1095 CDN (plus 5% GST tax)
