SEMINAR
PHOTOGRAPHY & THE WRITTEN WORD with COLIN FINLAY

Colin Finlay’s Photography and the written Word seminar is committed to helping to explore that sacred place within your soul, your other voice; to assist you to create your own personal language; expand your palette to allow you to communicate more fully than ever before using the powerful combination of words and pictures. Finlay will seek to open wide a new level of self examination and explore the uncharted levels of your own potential, a sharpening of the expressive power that you hold within. During the course of this valuable seminar, Colin will explore his process and photographs through his own storytelling narratives and point to how they both inform and expand the visual language of the photograph.
