Connect with your viewer through the intimate and transformational power of emotion.
We'll explore
Much like the movie Inside/Out, this workshop turns the six major emotions, or their close cousins, into tangible visual representations. What toy would you choose to express surprise, disgust or fear? How would you position them in frame to express a particular emotion?
You’ll draw on your own life challenges and joys to bring an authentic experience to your images. Toys make the perfect subject to tap into emotions that are often easy to avoid. You’ll not only give greater power to your images by infusing them with a range of human emotion, but you might find personal healing and transformation in the process.
We will be exploring all the tools in the toy photographers tool box such as composition, color theory and posing to help ‘sell’ the emotions that are being expressed.
PERSONAL ENRICHMENT
Because play can build resilience to daily life stresses, we’ll also explore:
- How to harness our emotions to fuel creativity.
- Explore how emotions effect creativity.
- Can anger be used as a force for positive change?
- How can composition reinforce an emotional response?
- Connecting with our inner child by using toys that have personal meaning.
