We welcome Tennessee Rick (Elliott) a renowned PPA presenter to California for an exciting ,portfolio building, hands-on workshop. Plan to bring equipment (we will supply the models) and learn truly impactful lighting and posing techniques from a truly personable professional that wants you to leave knowing much more than when you arrived.
After you’ve registered you will receive information about what equipment you might like to bring as well as details on parking, lunch and anything else pertinent to having a wonderful learning experience.
Register early as there is a class limit!
Join Tennessee Rick Elliott for an engaging and highly visual exploration of several ideas that have shaped his photographic journey:
WHAT TO EXPECT: Photography is more than cameras, settings, and perfectly followed rules. It is a way of seeing, experimenting, remembering, and connecting with others.
PIXELS: A look at film noir portraiture and the creative possibilities of shadow, light, mood, & mystery.
PRECEPTS: Photography is filled with rules, many of which seem to contradict one another. When should we follow them, when should we question them, and when should we simply trust ourselves?
PROJECTS: Personal projects can give our photography purpose, encourage creative growth, and help us develop a voice that is genuinely our own.
PEOPLE: From carefully crafted portraits to everyday snapshots, photographs of people become part of our personal and collective history. Sometimes the image that matters most is not the most technically perfect—it is the one that keeps someone with us.
This program is not about finding one “right” way to make photographs. It is about learning to see more deeply, taking creative risks, & recognizing the lasting value of the images we create.
