Inner Vision: A Photography Workshop by Tilak Hettige
Inner Vision is a 3-day workshop that will discuss and demonstrate the techniques of creating art-like images that touch the heart and soul of others. You will participate in numerous exercises designed to improve your creativity and help you recognize when and where to look for artistic creations. The workshop will provide you the opportunity to learn techniques of good composition and the use of fundamental visual blocks. It will be a rewarding and inspiring experience unlike any other photography workshop you have attended before. This is the only workshop of its kind in the Philippines and is among a handful of such workshops in the region.
What will you do differently afterwards?
Instead of taking hundreds of snap shots, you are going to be selective and capture the essence of an event in one photograph. Your photographs will now be a self- expression of your art rather than just a documentary record. You will now be able to simplify your images giving them more visual impact—a product of pre-visualization and not post production. Your eyes will see things differently and deliberately, taking time to admire the wondrous beauty of nature, or the numerous facets of human behavior.
Who should attend the workshop?
If you are now proficient in the use of your camera controls, you are ready to understand the techniques of seeing and capturing creative images. The workshop will cater to any types of students because it utilizes all four types of learning styles – visual, audio, interactive, and from written materials.
