Transformative Growth Through The Lens

$65

with Tiffany Riley

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 21, 2025 at 5:30 pm, runs for 5 weeks

Photography teaches us to see! We all look at things; however, photographers look to see things differently. Transformative Growth Through the Lens is a course that teaches participants to see things differently. This is not your typical photography class. While we will discuss essential elements of capturing a great image, including camera modes, composition, and light, the true heart of the course revolves around utilizing photography as a creative modality to move through grief, anxiety, trauma, and everyday life. The course links neuroscience, psychology, mindfulness, and art together. Participants will be asked to take multiple photographs around various themes designed to help folks transform their photography skills while transforming their perspective.

No Class on Election Day 11/5/24
