For photographers and painters, this extremely interactive workshop will explore how to compose pictures that draw the viewer in and that conjure a story in the mind.

Storytelling is a popular genre in the visual arts but Ray will help participants do more than just tell stories with photographs. In addition to reviewing the core tenets of composition he will explore how composing pictures that are relatable, that evoke emotions and contain archetypes, dramatically increases the likelihood that the picture will take the viewer on a trip through their consciousness, past, present and future. The stronger this connection can be the more interesting and memorable the photograph will be.

During this presentation Ray will share pictures from his portfolio and will look at participant images as well. Ray will share ideas which come from the world of composition, perception, and behavioral psychology, for creating more impactful pictures.

This class is scheduled to be held on the upper level of the Fraley Studio, which is only accessable by stairs.
