Description of Course Two: Nature, Shapes and Forms

This course inspired me to continue to pursue my love of photography. 

Alison Steele

One of the finest coaches in photography is nature itself. With its vast array of forms and shapes, nature invites us to slow down, observe, and connect with the world around us in ways we often overlook. When you immerse yourself in the study of nature’s intricate details, you will not only fall in love with the outdoors all over again, but you’ll also begin to see it with new eyes, discovering compositions and patterns that have always been present, yet hidden in plain sight.

In this course, we’ll delve deeper into the psyche of nature, learning to see beyond the obvious. You will cultivate an instinct to pause, reflect, and appreciate the natural world in all its beauty. Imagine the urge to ‘stop and smell the roses’ transforming into a creative pursuit—one where your understanding of shapes, forms, and light evolves into a unique form of artistic expression. Whether it’s the delicate elegance of Flowers and Grasses, the rugged majesty of Trees and their Branches, or the timeless presence of Rocks, each subject offers a new way to explore and appreciate the world we live in.

As we journey through this tutorial, alongside personal guidance, you'll gain the tools to not only capture the essence of these elements but to transform them into visual art that tells a story. Your photography will no longer just document nature—it will reveal it in ways that inspire others, encouraging them to venture out and discover their own relationship with the natural world.

This exploration of nature’s shapes and forms is more than just a technical exercise; it’s a journey of mindfulness and gratitude. As you engage with the process, you will notice a profound connection to your surroundings, bringing with it benefits that go beyond the camera lens—enhancing your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
