My studies at NESOP this year included On-line Portfolio, Digital Skills, Advanced Business classes with my “major” being in Portraiture and my “minor” is in Documentary. I’ve been a portrait and event photographer for almost 4 decades, but I’ve recently started experimenting with lifestyle portraiture and documentary style photography. In Documentary class I had to throw out everything I have ever learned about taking a photo and what it should look like. It was a very, very frustrating class for me by challenging me on how I thought a picture should look and feel. So long rule of thirds, razor sharp photos and setting up my composition! Learning to shooting in the moment is what I’m aspiring to do.
