Tina is Currently an adjunct professor at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Tina’s practice is grounded in her study of art, movement and music. She is a longtime student of Developmental Movement and very deliberately composes the human figure and its activity. Tina is also a musician. She performs on the lute and Renaissance flute, and directs the early music chamber group, The Shakespeare Band. Her cultural connection to the Renaissance/Baroque period extends to The Visual world as well as music, especially sculpture. Depicting classical balance and beauty in the human form is a hallmark of Tina’s work.
When not composing scenes in the studio or on-site, Tina is a freelance photographer with a broad clientele including The Cincinnati Symphony, Linton Chamber Music, Movers and Makers Magazine, Queen City Chamber Opera, Concert Nova, MY Cincinnati, UC-College Conservatory of Music, and Procter and Gamble.

Lisa Langell, Phoenix Arizona, is a full-time, award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in numerous prestigious publications including the cover of Outdoor Photographer magazine, plus numerous images in Arizona Highways, Ranger Rick, art galleries and more. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for the North American Nature Photography Association. She is also a proud ambassador for Tamron, FotoPro, and H&Y filters.

Her passion for photography started in childhood–when bird watching ignited her lifelong love of nature and the camera. In 2010, she turned her passion for photography into a business—and in 2015 she successfully transitioned to photography full-time and left the corporate and consulting world behind. The journey with photography has been Lisa’s favorite–she loves combining her diverse background and skills into her photographic art and instruction. Bringing joy to others brings joy to her! She thrives on creating innovative learning experiences and pushing photographic boundaries. She equally enjoys enriching, stimulating, and expanding fellow photographers’ minds emotionally, creatively, and intellectually.

Photographing Abstracts: The Techniques Behind the Best Images.

Excellent Abstract photography does not happen by chance. It is rarely the accidental blurred shot that works as an elite abstract image. It is through careful photography and technique where the best images are created. So–expand your creativity! A whole new world of photography, creativity, and fun opens when you break the boundaries of traditional imagery and explore photographing abstracts! I will teach you the techniques behind creating the best images. Abstract photography is all about taking the everyday objects and transforming them into something creative and mostly unrecognizable in comparison to their original form. Through instruction, videos, audience-interaction and inspiration from your instructor and fellow participants, you will learn:

•How to apply basic compositional guidelines while using your creativity and vision to create abstract images

•How to use intentional camera motion (ICM) and motion blur•Patterning and its application to abstract photography

•How contrast, shadows, color theory, textures, edges, and more can help your design images that are artistic, ethereal, and fun

•How to present your abstract images for impactful, stunning wall art and more!

This session is always full of laughs, freedom, and creativity. It is a great class for any level of photographer with any camera–even a mobile phone.

TOPIC: ARTISTIC ARCHITECTURE

How a place is designed can trigger an emotional response by its occupants. “Emotion in architecture can often be linked to how well an architecture exudes a “sense of place” — where the emotion experienced of a particular architecture can be shaped by its “sense of place”. Often, “sense of place” can help an architecture take on a type of personality — and this personality can serve to trigger emotion in its building occupants because it connects with them.”

Submit up to three images of architecture you feel an emotional response per instructions below. *
