“Seeing Creatively – Before and After” with Sandi Croan
Have you ever thought about how many individual decisions, both conscious and unconscious, you make to produce a single photographic image? By breaking down the process using her images and stories, Sandi’s presentation, “Seeing Creatively Before and After,” will take you through the potentially hundreds of steps and decisions that we, as photographers, all make from the moment we decide to take a picture to the final photographic image. This presentation is geared for all photographers from novices to advanced and will get you to think about your creative process, reinforce what you already know, and hopefully give you some new ideas or approaches to your photography – all in a light-hearted and humorous manner.
