The Rebel’s Guide to Falling in Love with Photography!

I’m mighty excited to spill the beans that there is a new class coming for January of 2014!

Introducing: The Rebel’s Guide to Falling in Love with Photography!

The Rebel’s Guide uses playfulness as a tool to push past our ideas of the ‘perfect’ photo or getting stuck in our left-brain in terms of how to take a photograph (which I think is the cause of many cameras collecting dust on the shelf rather than being made use of).  As you know from last weeks post about the 10 Ways to Take Better iPhone Photos, I love the technical side of photography too…yet too often I see the technical side of photography getting in people’s way of falling in love with it.

This class is all about bursting out of the box (hence the Rebel aspect) and exploring photography from a different perspective.

This class is about sparking (or re-sparking) your love for photography.

This class is about learning about photography (and about our cameras) experientially!

In the Rebel’s Guide to Falling in Love with Photography we will:

  • Shake up our ideas of what we think we need to know as photographers and tap in to what we already know as creative souls.
  • Do outside the box and oh so much fun activities each day Monday through Friday during the course.
  • Add ourselves into a few photos during the class (and invite ourselves to see ourselves with kindness)
  • Experiment, explore, seek, try, be silly, and have so much fun.
  • Connect with our fellow creativity seekers in the course.
  • Learn from experiencing and exploring.
  • Discovery that photography is fun and not to be feared!

I’m intentionally offering this class in January…partially because it feels powerful to start the year falling in love with photography, but also because I know where I live…it is in the middle of the grey season and a month that it might be harder for many of us to keep inspired.  So I wanted to fill your inbox with inspirational activities that you can explore no matter what the weather is.  This isn’t about falling in love with photography only when the sun is out…this is about being able to get inspired any day, anywhere!

Of course, there will be one self-portrait prompt in the class but I promise that if you’re new to self-portraiture that prompt will be gentle.  This is also great way to get to join me for a class even if you aren’t wanting to focus in on self-portraiture but are drawn to the playfulness of my classes!

The fun starts this January but Registration is Open!  I hope to see you there!  Come secure your spot in the class!
