What will Ken Sklute talk about?
As photographers we all look at the world and see things uniquely. We often move to fast and miss what is right in front of us. Ken will share his perspective and help you to be more in touch with your creative vision and teach you to see. We routinely pass magnificent locations, without stopping because we are not really seeing what is there. Ken will explain how he goes about finding locations, subjects and photographic environments that yield award winning results. Together we will explore creative ways of composing. You will learn to see light that carves your subject with grace, depth and dimension. He will motivate and ignite your passion, enabling you to take your craft to a new level of excellence.
