The Thinking Photographer

with Robert Clark

In Robert Clark’s workshop, The Thinking Photographer, Robert encourages photographers to understand the best questions to ask when understanding their subject before taking the photo. Understanding what your vision is experiencing and what you are recording is paramount to obtaining an impactful photograph. Using the proper light creates mood, dimension, and conveys impact; elevating your photography to another level. 

Robert Clark's images of landscapes, portraits, wildlife, and poetic reflections of human activity are masterfully rendered - all in perfect light, will be shown as examples of what key elements are used in making a dynamic photograph.
