Botanical composition\, exposure\, and post-pr oduction are explained.\nHarold says: “Light box photography is a joy on its own\, and is a great form of photography to practice at home with rel atively minimal investment in equipment. In addition\, techniques that can be learned from light box photography cut across myriad aspects of photog raphy---such as exposure and composition---and will enrich all aspects of your photographic practice.”\nSpecial attention is paid to issues of vis ual representation such as chiaroscuro that have been integral to photogra phy since its beginning\, and to fine art painting since the Renaissance. Harold will use his innovative techniques to demonstrate digital technique s that allow the artist to deconstruct and reconstruct the scene in front of the camera\, thereby allowing pinpoint control over the final image.\nB ring your questions!
