The Power of Photography

When we first pick up a camera, our main aim is usually to master the settings and learn how to compose a photograph. Once these techniques have been mastered, many will settle into a comfort zone, following the same processes over and over again, but then, they may find themselves becoming frustrated and end up in a creative rut.

There is so much more to discover about photography and this talk is a window into how we can tap into it.
