Dave has been committed to teaching and mentoring creatives for nearly three decades. He leads photo tours and workshops in Charleston, with a focus on highlighting people in their natural environment and the undiscovered facets of our planet. He teaches and favors a simple pre-shutter button work ethic rather than a “fix it in post” philosophy. His belief is that imagination and improvisation trump rules and tools in 99% of situations. Your tools do not define you, and your style should prescribe your tools. As a photographer, a focus on storytelling and emotional connection will help you uncover your unique gift.
Several key points from Dave’s talk:
• What Is In Front of the Camera?
• Quality is Pointless, Unless . . . .
• The Creative Process of “the Moment”
• Letting Go of the Quest for the “Perfect Snap”
• Vulnerability and Courage
This presentation will appeal to photographers of all levels and hopefully will give each of us the courage and creativity to go out and capture. We hope you can join us on March 20.
