Course Description
It isn’t always comfortable to create art. This is because our art is linked to us internally. Our souls breathe it in, and we give it life. Photography helps us grow. The process can be messy, yet it can also reveal something important and breathtaking.
During this deep-dive online workshop with photographer and educator Laurie Klein, we peel away fear and replace it with curiosity and exploration. With prompts from Laurie, you photograph from within, expressing your own precious photographic soul.
We may be drawn to a beautiful visual scene, yet during the act of photographing we are able to sense the feelings that arise in the moment. Ultimately, the images we make spring directly from those feelings. Only by trusting our inner creativity can we bring forward final products that reflect our effort and are worthy of being shared with the world.
Carl Jung wrote: “Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Art reveals your joys and your wounds. Your images are mirrors of the soul. They are speaking to you. They have something to say, sometimes in a whisper, sometimes in a loud voice. Can you hear them?
