Special Guest: Allana Taranto

Summary: Allana will introduce her use of Visual Thinking Strategies and do a quick overview of the Elements and Principles of Art – specific photographic concerns, using both images from the traditional ‘canon’ of photography as well as images from our wedding/portrait industry. She will talk about taking this method of seeing and apply it into the editing of our own work, specifically looking at our web presence. “Taking a selection of images, and bio pictures, and question what they say about our individual brands. Is it a cohesive story that we are presenting?” If we have time – Allana will faciliate a social review of thoughts and observations as attendees look at their images/web presence – and (ideally) talk about how they are seeing their own work differently. Please leave a comment on this post with your website if you’d like to have your portfolio reviewed as part of the talk!
