About this presentation:
Have you ever looked at a technically perfect photo that just felt... flat, or uninspiring? We often talk about this feeling on Camversation a great deal, especially when looking at our own photography. Conversely have you ever seen an image that just stopped you, held your attention, and made you feel something?
It's one of the biggest challenges in photography. We can all learn the settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), but what makes an image truly work? What's the secret sauce that separates a simple snapshot from a powerful, unforgettable photograph?
It's not magic, and it's not luck. It's a fascinating mix of art and science, and it's exactly what David Day is here to share in his brand new presentation: Photographer's Perspective: The Art and Science of a Great Image.
David is re-framing this complicated topic into a practical toolkit for photographers, it's a workshop on understanding why human beings connect with certain images.
In this session, you will learn:
The Psychology of a Wow Photo: What is happening in your viewer's brain when they see a truly great image?
Beyond the Rules: How to use composition, light, and moment to intentionally create an emotional response.
The Science of Impact: Why are we drawn to certain shapes, colours, and subjects?
How to See Like an Artist: Learn to see beyond just what's in front of you and understand the impact your final image will have.
About David:
David is an accomplished photographic artist whose work explores the fascinating intersection where science and art converge. After a long and successful career as a physician, scientist, and professor, David turned his full attention to the world of fine art photography, bringing with him a lifetime of analytical thinking and a deep curiosity for the unseen.
He is best known for his innovative approach to in-camera techniques, particularly Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and multiple exposures. David has refined these methods into his signature style, which he calls Controlled Camera Chaos (C3), to create breathtaking abstract images that are both technically intriguing and emotionally resonant. His art challenges us to look beyond the literal, revealing the flow, energy, and hidden stories within his subjects.
