SUMMARY:Beyond the Bloom: Nature & Floral Photography with Tony Sweet (Online Learning - Six Sessions)
DESCRIPTION:Online Learning\nHow can a photograph of nature become something more than a beautiful representation of what we see? In this six-week online workshop\, renowned nature and fine art photographer Tony Sweet invites participants to explore the natural world as a starting point for personal artistic expression.\n\nThrough live demonstrations\, creative assignments\, image reviews\, and group discussion\, Tony will explore approaches to composition\, natural light\, abstraction\, minimalism\, and selective framing. Participants will experiment with photographing flowers\, intimate landscapes\, textures\, and details\, while discovering ways to transform familiar subjects through creative vision and intention.\n\nThe workshop will also introduce expressive in-camera techniques including intentional camera movement (ICM)\, image swipes\, multiple exposures\, and other techniques that can create painterly and dreamlike effects. Tony will share approaches to post-processing that emphasize mood\, atmosphere\, and visual storytelling\, as well as an introduction to the creative possibilities of infrared photography.\n\nDesigned for photographers of all levels\, this workshop is an opportunity to slow down\, experiment\, and develop a more personal relationship with the natural world. Whether working with flowers\, landscapes\, or abstract forms\, participants will be encouraged to move beyond documentation and create images that express emotion\, imagination\, and individual vision.\n\nThis course is strictly limited to 12 students.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTony Sweet comes from an artistic background as a professional jazz artist and professional close-up magician (sleight of hand artist)\, to professional nature/ fine art photographer\, Tony has always sought creative\, deeply personal endeavors. The transition from jazz artist to nature photographer was a seamless transition as both require an improvisational nature and an ability to adapt to quickly changing conditions. \n\nTony was named a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens and has been published worldwide for over 35 years. He has authored 8 books\, contributing to many others\, co-produced an educational DVD series\, and continues to teach and lecture throughout the US\, Canada\, Iceland\, and Cuba. His article on macro photography was published in the New York Times. \n\nTony is co-owner\, along with Susan Milestone\, of their Visual Artistry location workshops series\, Creativity Seminars\, private virtual training sessions\, private location workshops\, and ZOOM presentations to photographic societies worldwide.
