Art of Previsualization in a Digital Age with Timothy Wolcott, Sponsored by Phase One

This is a rare opportunity to learn and grow from innovative landscape photographer, Timothy Wolcott. "My vision is guided by the spirit of the dunes, the quiet of the light, the sensual curves, and that magical time when the dunes reveal their most intimate secrets."

During this enlightening seminar, Wolcott will discuss Preemptive Photoshop-the ability to conceptualize, visualize and create your master vision. He will share his own images and delve into the process behind their creation. This seminar will not only ignite your passion for photography, but help you see the final print before you click your shutter. The end result: shoot it once-shoot it right.

Wolcott's photographs have the passion of the great photographers who have traveled before him, such as Weston, Adams, Watkins and William Henry Jackson. Wolcott however, distinguishes his work by capturing America, not only in black and white, but also as a master color photographer. Pushing the boundaries of color photography, his Symplicity Collection creates a new direction through his unique use of light, color, line, space and form. Timothy Wolcott is featured in the current edition of Calumet Focus. His images can be viewed at galleryoftheamericanlandscape.com.

Tuesday Seminar - 7 to 9:15 p.m. at Meridian Banquet Center - $29.99
