Learn alternative and historical processes including Lumen Printing, Van Dyke Brown, and Cyanotype. Use the Blue Van Dyke process to create more expressive and painterly photographs.

MOTION CAPTURE
PORTFOLIO Development
LIGHTING
DSLR Motion capture storytelling. Conceptualize still images as a visual narrative using motion capture imaging. Utilize video capture, multiple creative capture processes, and editing to create a one-of-a-kind story.
Develop a strong and cohesive portfolio. Select, document, edit, and sequence your work in a targeted manner for college acceptance, calls for entry, and sales venues. Review industry standards for portfolios, artist statements, biographies, and CVs.
Learn to control and explore studio & outdoor lighting. Use artificial light sources, natural light, and lighting modifiers with your camera.

About Bronwen
Biography
I explore concepts of home, place and self-healing inspired philosophical alchemy (understanding your true nature, purging negativity, and living your life.) Blue Van Dykes merge a love of painting with a passion for landscapes while an affection for collage emerges in landscapes taken with a Diana camera. I believe “One can find the secret to life with visualization and experimentation.”
