The great color photographer Ernst Haas once said, “The decisive moment in black and white is not the same in color. Each needs awareness in seeing and, because of this, a different discipline.” Color moments exist everywhere but gaining awareness and insight in how to capture those moments is the key to what this workshop is about.

And, for the first time, the Pacific NorthWest Art School is offering this one-of-a-kind workshop with color master, Arthur Meyerson.

Our week begins with a review of each participant’s images and a discussion of personal goals. Through daily assignments, discussions, and select group field trips, participants acquire new techniques to sensitize themselves to light, color, and composition, while learning to capture those fleeting instants when all the elements converge, resulting in creative fulfillment and success.

Arthur shows examples of other color influencers as well as his own work to illustrate concepts and ideas while guiding participants in applying their unique vision of the world to the development and refinement of their individual style. In addition to addressing the aesthetics of the color moment, Arthur leads group critiques and spends individual time with each participant addressing their work.

You depart your week with Arthur with a greater appreciation for color, a stronger awareness of your own personal vision and strengths, and an enhanced sensitivity to capturing “decisive moments” in color.
