Robin asks: As photographers, we know what we experienced when we took a photo, and what was meaningful to us, but how does that translate to our viewing audience?

Visual Language speaks instantly to the Heart’s Mind, faster and clearer than words, and by understanding what is really in our images, our photography can expand and grow. As our awareness deepens, we begin to see extra and often unexpected elements all around us that we can incorporate creatively to make our photographs more interesting to our viewers.

Robin will explore three elements that she considers to be visual gifts that are often hiding in plain sight, and she will share her techniques for creating images with mood and feeling.

Robin began using her Father’s camera around age 5 and was fascinated by her Grandmother’s stories and old photographs that fueled her quest to make images. She is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of Georgia, and her studies of Art History on the UGA Studies Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy, deeply influenced her to develop her own approach to the medium of photography.

As both artist and photographer, Robin has researched and worked extensively with a variety of unique photographic techniques, blending tradition with experimentation to achieve painterly and illustrative images. Through her workshops and personal instruction, Robin inspires her students to discover their own photographic style, with in-camera decisions that are the foundation of thoughtful image making.

Robin has had over 100 exhibitions of her fine art photography, both in the US and abroad, and her work has been featured for many corporations and in numerous private and international collections.
