Michael Seewald’s recent workshop grad Kim Signoret-Parr wins ‘BEST OF SHOW’ at San Diego Int’l Photo competition, 2014 besting over 4,300 world-wide entries.
Here is what Kim said on her class critique form. Remember, she was already an advanced photographer, getting her work accepted into the fairs.
“Michael Seewald thoroughly lays out the rules of composition (I knew the rules, he SHOWS YOU HOW TO PUT THEM ALL INTO PRACTICE, and more importantly, all the things that can ruin a photo- I already knew the rules and then during three days: repeats, repeats, repeats ... drilling in our subconscious like a mantra what you need to remember every time you make a photograph. In the class we learn to MAKE a photograph not TAKE a photograph. We learn to make fewer, but better pictures. We learn to walk away from something that isn't working. Michael gave me new ways to think, new tools, and I am grateful and very happy that I spent three days learning from him. …. The unexpected benefit of the class was that I learned new ways of thinking and seeing. ”
Kim Signoret-Parr, La Jolla, CA, Class of May, 2013

Carmel / Monterey
'fun-shops' with Michael Seewald
"These two and three day Carmel photo classes/ workshops (aka 'fun-shops') are not to be missed. They generally fill up fast and provide great images that you will be able sell, if you are wanting to that is, Or to just hang them on your walls for you and your friends to appreciate for the rest of your life- guaranteed." MS
This is one great place to take an outdoor workshop. We not only learn all of the basics of good compositional factors but receive all of knowledge so we can use the technical skills needed to make them as well. We have a chance to apply all of the new knowledge in one of photography's heartlands. Ansel Adams, The Weston's (Edward, Brett and Cole) and a multitude of other serious fine art photographers (artists) have called this unique place home.

Point Lobos State Park, Carmel California
by Michael Seewald. All rights reserved.
We will usually work many of the areas best photogenic spots: Cannery Row; Big Sur; 17 Mile Drive; Fisherman's Wharf (night photography); Point Lobos; the Carmel Mission; the 'Barnyard' mall with it's terraced flower gardens; Carmel Village and quite a few other locations on and off the beaten path.
We will visit many of the photography and painting galleries in Carmel where Michael will point out how the compositional elements were used properly, or as in 90% of the time- improperly, and in no time the students are critiquing the art with that same critical eye.

"...Michael, the workshop met my expectations. Delightful. Fun. Entertaining. This is what I wrote in an email to one of my friends:
"Last weekend I participated in a wonderful Photography workshop (3 days) in and around Carmel. The hands-on work was done at the the most beautiful and inspirational spots in Monterey County; The Mission, Old Town Monterey, Point Lobos, The Barnyard, Carmel by the Sea... What a wonderful place – where better to practice a new way of seeing and exercise my imagination.
The days averaged 9 hours plus gallery walks that followed. ...
The workshop is done in Carmel twice a year by Michael Seewald -(www.Seewald.com) he is funny, inspiring and entertaining as well as a master photographer - all the techie stuff would NOT have been lost on YOU - as for me, well, time will tell, I hope to hang on to some of the techie stuff and at least be able to create some beautiful art, with a camera, when I go to Europe in June. I was there for the inspiration, the brain exercise, to hang out w/ my Mom and Aunt Elise and for the creative stimulation - I was not disappointed and am blessed, really, holy cow, how great is this life!!"
