Are you tired of feeling stuck following endless photography rules, resulting in images that just… exist? What if I told you there's a way to unlock a deeper, more intuitive connection with your camera, allowing you to capture photographs that truly speak to the soul? In this podcast we’ll look at how you can move beyond rigid guidelines and embracing the organic flow of visual storytelling.

We will look at:

The Illusion of Rules; rules (like the rule of thirds) are often misinterpreted as unbreakable laws rather than helpful guides.

Strict adherence to rules can stifle creativity and lead to formulaic, uninspired images.

Build consistency and expand your style.

Move beyond technical exposure to understand how light sculpts subjects and evokes specific moods.

Experiment with unconventional lighting scenarios – backlighting, rim lighting, atmospheric light – to create impactful visuals.

Explore techniques like negative space, leading lines, and framing that guide the viewer's eye organically through the image. 

It's time for another podcast...

If you're new to photography or trying to get to grips with your Mirrorless or DSLR camera, this short workshop will take you through the fundamentals.

It runs from 6.00 pm until approximately 7.15 pm (AEST) on Thursday, 22nd January.
