Sony Artisan Caroline Jensen will take you off the beaten path for this workshop on Creative Rural Photography with Maine Media and sponsored by Sony. Throughout the week of June 9-15, the workshop will cover:

• How to use your point and shoot cameras for capturing rural scenes. Caroline uses a Sony super-zoom, point and shoot. Mirrorless and DSLR cameras are welcome, but editing will focus on mobile platforms: phone or iPad.

• How to break down the shooting process for easy editing later: shooting plates for backgrounds and skies as well as composition and lighting considerations.

• How to creatively visualize your image in your mind using the elements you shot.

• How to pair your vision with apps and mobile programs that bring your images to life.

• The main themes of editing that can be paired with existing apps and be ready for apps yet to come: exposure and light manipulation, dodging and burning, compositing, using and/or merging layers, texture enhancement, removing unwanted objects, color manipulation, problem-solving techniques, printing considerations, digital painting, day to night transformations, etc.

• The ethics of rural street photography.

• How this sort of work is broadly suitable for print as thoughtful gifts or more formal venues, such as galleries or exhibitions.
