SEEING WITH A CAMERA with Aliza Holtz
An Introduction to How the Camera Sees—and How That Affects Your Photographs

Have you ever taken a photograph that didn’t match what you saw or felt in the moment?  This 90-minute experiential workshop introduces a simple but powerful idea: the camera sees differently than you do. By learning to recognize that difference, you can begin to create photographs that more closely reflect your intention.  Seeing with a Camera is designed for anyone curious about photography—whether you’ve never picked up a camera or have years of experience. No technical background is required.

• A deeper awareness of what you’re noticing versus what the camera captures
• Practical insight you can immediately apply to any kind of photographyWhat to Bring: Any digital camera or smartphone
