What you will learn, photographically speaking:

Regardless of your level of experience and expertise in photography, this workshop is designed to improve your photographic senses and abilities. Whether you are wanting advice on camera settings, field techniques, constructive image reviews or post processing, you will be exposed to the principal facets of digital image making.

Beyond the basics of photography, we will be discussing the following considerations when creating great images:

  • How to compose a scene based on Contrasting Light that reveals a Clarity of Edges of Objects and Elements with inspiration from the Science of Human Vision and the History of the 2-Dimensional Arts

  • How to portray Volumetric Space that conveys a controlled Sense of Depth as inspired by the Art of Architecture

  • How Historic Building Forms can complement a Contemporary Context as inspired by the Art of Urban Design

  • How to record a Complexity of Construction Details along with a Contradiction of Functions with inspiration from the Science of Architecture

  • How a photograph can convey a Slice of Life and a Spirit of Place

What photo gear and materials are required?

This course is all about taking your photography to the next level regardless of the type of camera or array of lenses you might bring. For urban photography, wide-angle lenses are preferred, but not required. While not a requirement, a sturdy tripod would be a benefit. Please bring a USB memory stick or device that can transfer your RAW files to the instructor for review and a potential processing demonstration. You need to have an understanding of your camera’s still photography functions. Please read your camera manual so you can be familiar with its features.

Your Instructor will be Rick Hulbert, RCA

part of Rick’s 2020 Vision Workshop and Lecture Series

Along with being an Academician in the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts, Rick Hulbert’s background is as an international award–winning and published architect, urban designer, and photographer with a passion for teaching. Rick has been a frequent lecturer, teacher, and seminar panel participant on four continents.

Rick believes that “we should consider the subject of a photograph as the entire field of view” . . . not just an object within that field of view.

While Rick’s photography seeks an honest portrayal of “truthful intent,” his more recent works explore the art of “reality re-imagined.” Rick’s imagery draws its inspiration from both the neuroscience of visual perception and the history of the 2-dimensional arts.
