There is nothing more important than clean, direct, compelling composition. Through numerous image examples, various compositional techniques will be illustrated and discussed. From the basics of composition to more creative ideas, Tony’s presentation is intended to fine tune the vision and jump start the creativity of the attendees. Whether you are just starting out, or are a seasoned pro, this is a program not to be missed!

Mike has worked in different capacities at Nikon USA for over 25 years and is a really fantastic nature photographer. He also does a great deal of photography for various charities throughout the New York area – and he’s got great examples of his work + lots of information to share about how photography can change the lives of many. However, his favorite subject is the dynamic world of rock & roll concert photography. His work is really different, and it is striking! Mike will discuss the cameras and lenses he chooses for the various subjects he encounters, the best camera and exposure settings to make, recognizing amazing light and many of the pro tips and techniques he has learned along the way. He'll also share some of the behind the scenes stories, experiences and insight on many of the pictures he has made - and those in attendance are bound to be inspired & motivated to make the best photographs possible!
