Competition not only keeps the creative juices flowing; it sets a standard of excellence, it enhances your reputation, and it keeps you in the forefront of your industry. In this class, Michael Timmons shares his tricks of the trade for creating an image for photographic competition.
First discuss how to pre-visualize an image, and make the right preparations to capture that vision. Michael shares how to ensure you have the equipment, the lighting, the exposure and composition essential for a great shoot.
Then, explore the concept of subject matter, what works best, and how to ensure the story you are telling comes through in your image. Discuss how to best portray children, men and women, how to pose properly and overall, how to make sure that your images come across as real.
