Creative Landscape & travel sessions are a little more advanced and focus on the “creative side” of the capture process.  You’ll learn more about building compositions,  seeing shots, subtleties of soft and hard light and long exposure techniques.

When to use filters and when not to, relying more on camera craft and developing your eye to create powerful imagery rather than heavy handed photo editing skills. Then there’s  lens choice, simplifying workflow and composition  and perhaps a little editing workflow*. A complete practical guide to get you on track and  creating better images.
