In this course, Pulitzer-nominated photographer Natalie Fobes
takes viewers into the studio and on location to explore the
many elements that combine to make an effective photo.

The course explores compositional elements that guide a
viewer's eye, including the rule of thirds; leading lines,
patterns, and curves; and depth of field. Natalie then details
the roles of color and light in a photo. She shows how to work
with the natural light in a room or outdoor location, and how
to enhance it using reflectors, newspapers, a T-shirt, or
whatever might be handy. She also shows some simple indoor
lighting setups that can replicate the look of natural light.

The course continues with a look at movement and how a
photographer can convey a sense of motion by blurring part of
the image or freezing a fast-moving subject. Next, Natalie
explores the concepts of peak action and the decisive moment.
those split seconds that capture the essence or emotion of a
subject or scene. The course wraps up with a discussion of the
roles of planning and research in creating effective photos.
