About the Course
Anyone can create a vision or style. But it takes time and awareness. Learn to experiment with different subjects and styles. To create your unique style, try to take something from each photographer whose work inspires you. Get inspiration and let your style evolve and grow. More Info: focusfran@gmail.com. Minimum age 18.
Begin to focus on photography, not the photographer whose work makes you feel something. Try and take something out of each photographer's work who inspire you and mix things and create a unique style. Get inspiration and merge the things you find inspiring into your style. Remember that your style is always evolving, and you must grow and find new ways to motivate yourself.

The human element intrigues her with color, texture and emotion. Urban landscapes inspire her to seek juxtapositions with their surroundings. Henri Cartier-Bresson. Annie Leibovitz. Gordon Parks. Richard Avedon. These are the photographers that have and continue to inspire. Motivating her to see “outside of the box”.

In her own words: As an educator, I encourage students to think "outside of the box" through exploration, critical thinking, and self-discovery. The principles and elements of design are key as well as technical development with the medium.
