The Expressive Image:

Creating photographs for Fine Art/Décor

 

As artists who desire to make a good living from our photographs, it can be challenging to stay the true course of our personal vision and still create images that are attractive to the fine art/interior décor marketplace. In this presentation, Brenda will discuss key concepts that make images more expressive, about the importance of sticking to your personal vision, and about working with themes, creating collections or series of images. She will share insights about what photographs have worked well for her, how to develop a personal style or ‘look’ to your work, as well as ideas for creating strong graphics, moods, impressionistic and abstract images, all as a process to building a body of work that can do well in the marketplace.
