A great photograph has the potential to transcend
verbal and written language but how do you create
these photographs? It’s not the how that’s important,

Whether you are an amateur or professional, architect or acupuncturist, physician or
photographer, in this webcast Chris Orwig will
provide inspiration, simple techniques, and
assignments to boost your creative process and
improve your digital images using natural light
without additional gear.
Chris Orwig’s insights – to reduce and simplify,
participate rather than critique, and capture a story –
have made him an immensely popular workshop
speaker and faculty member at the prestigious

"And poems are spare. With so little space, they require a distillation, which concentrates and intensifies their meaning and effect. Like evaporating seawater, where only the salt remains, those few lines communicate more. And the best photographs that I know follow this same trajectory.”
- Chris Orwig
