Photography, Energy & Light Workshop

Schedule

Sat Oct 26 2024 at 12:00 pm to 04:00 pm

Location

Santa Fe | Santa Fe, NM

Join us at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden for a workshop delving into the energy of photography, using meditation, energy exercises and practical photography skills with Sharna Langlais, Reiki Master and Jim Crotty, Photographer. This workshop will allow us to go deeply into this sacred time of year, just days before Samhain/All Hallows Eve/Day of the Dead. Jim will teach practical techniques regarding photography using camera phones, while Sharna will discuss how to move into meditation, focus and energetic connection to nature and the subjects that will be photographed. In this way, we will meld energy, photography, nature and light together to capture images that reflect the sacredness of our Santa Fe landscape and nature.
In this workshop you will:
* Learn the basics of selecting a subject for photographing
* Learn how to frame subjects using a cameraphone
* Learn how to edit your images on your cameraphone
* Experience deep meditation and connection with nature
* Understand how photography is a creative outlet for our connection to nature and spirit
* Connect to the energetic and shamanic elements of Autumn
* Reexamine your relationship with the nature, energy, your creativity and even your phone

Jim Crotty, Photographer & College Instructor
Photography has been Jim’s primary route to connecting with the world and life around him since he picked up his first SLR camera in the 1970s and headed into the woods behind his childhood home in Ohio. Jim began teaching photography workshops in 2009, emphasizing nature and landscape subjects. He has also presented his photography to groups and organizations, and his photographs have been published in National Wildlife, USAToday, The Smithsonian, and other publications, including several book covers. In addition to his professional career in photography, Jim has taught college communication and public speaking courses as an adjunct instructor at The Modern College of Design, The University of Dayton, and currently at Central New Mexico Community College. At his core is a passion for storytelling, education, and expression through art. This work emphasizes the art of light and the beauty of connection – to the landscape, nature, and the positive flow and exchange of creative energy.
