Seim’s Featured Workshop – Tones & Zones:
It all about the light in this engaging session. Tones and Zones starts where it all started with the history of photographics. Then we leap into practical study of how we can deeply understand light tone and Zones for digital. We go beyond creating exposures and learn how to fundamentally understand and control light rather than fear it. You’ll will walk away with new ideas and challenges to everything you know about exposure. This powerful workshop for any experience level will make you challenge the light and raise the bar on your photography.
