Today marks the close of the Emerge online workshop. Over the past few months class attendees have grown together in their photographic skills, made friendships and some even made personal discoveries.
I want to thank all of the ladies who enrolled. It was such a pleasure to watch all of you post your photos and to see you develop through the course of the class.
I have asked the ladies to share some of their photos with you, and to share a bit about the class.
The Emerge Workshop taught me so much about how to make my camera work for me and how to capture inspiring shots. Nicole really brought out my inner creativity that was long forgotten and showed me how to apply it to photography. I really enjoyed this workshop and learned so much. Thanks Nicole for your insights and wisdom!
I recently participated in the Rusted Ruffle’s Emerge workshop. My obvious intent was to become a better photographer and “head memory keeper”
I opened the “week one” lesson with great anticipation. I was expecting to find “Intro to f-stops” or “A Lesson on Light” but the lesson was “Define Yourself” ??
I thought to myself,”What does this have to do with anything?”
As I worked through the assignments, I learned so much about who I am and that I have a style. I am fifty years old and am just discovering that I HAVE A STYLE. I have bought a pile of clothes that I love, bags of jewelery that I love. I now have an Etsy account. I ordered a cuff for a hundred and thirty bucks because it spoke to me. (giddy laugh) My husband calls me a gypsy ’cause I jingle. I got a hair cut. Dressing me….taking care of me. I made a doctor appointment, a dentist appointment, started a fitness program and started writing again. I am worth taking care of. I have value.
I have Emerged and by the way, I am also a better photographer.
The next Emerge workshop starts June 4, 2012.
This class is for you if you want to find what your style is, be more creative and take better images. It is perfect for small business owners who want to showcase beautiful product shots.
You do not need to be an accomplished photographer to take this class.
You will emerge more confident, more creative and a better photographer.
This workshop is meant to be an empowering and creative experience, helping you to understand your camera and how to use it to it’s full potential.
