PHOTO TIP #1

NOTICE WITH ALL 5 SENSES

Our five physical senses bring us directly into the present moment. This is the most important place to be. Learning to use our full body awareness by acknowledging what we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, gives us a broader sense of what’s really going on around us. This sets the stage for all the possibilities to come.

Don’t just LOOK for things to shoot. Listen, smell, feel, and taste your experiences to really discover what makes that moment so worth capturing. This is all about connecting to a feeling, all of YOUR FEELINGS.

I did not see these cars when I first walked up the Brooklyn Bridge to shoot. In fact, I couldn’t see much of anything because it was raining and it was nighttime! But I heard the car horns, I felt the slick rain under my feet, and I could sense the light coming from below me. I was able to capture this image, “The Heights of Brooklyn” because I chose to become aware of all of my senses, not just my sight.

When you pay attention to all of your physical senses, your story can unfold organically because you have expanded your awareness and you are ready to truly see what the moment has to offer.

Now, go grab your camera (or just go to your camera app on your phone!) and snap a shot using this photo tip. Then share your shots with us by using #livewonderful and tag us on your social posts so we can feature you! I can't wait to see what you capture now that you have this great tip in your creative toolbox.

This class is worth every penny and then some. I cannot say enough positive things about Danielle and this class. I have had a digital SLR for several years and was resigned to being intimidated by it. Danielle explained the functions of the camera and its settings so well. For the first time, I FINALLY am getting what it means to take the camera off "auto" and why and how to do that. We then took what she taught us and practiced with it outside- the only way to see if I was "getting it"

I've taken multiple classes with Danielle. She's very in-depth and I learn so much more than I expected too each time. She provided great tips and explained the settings in a way that finally made sense to me. She really knows how to break down the science of photography. Danielle has a great, positive attitude, and her passion for photography is contagious!

I am an entrepreneur trying to make things happen. My goal is to learn the art of photography, apply it to my business and my personal life. I have had the opportunity to take both her photography and lightroom classes. I am a complete beginner but I am so pleased with everything Danielle has shared with me. I have not become a photographer overnight but I have so much useful information and I do not feel lost. I have a place to start and more confidence. Danielle is also super patience with her students and I can not wait to take more classes!

I am so happy I attended Danielle's photography class. The experience was like no other. She was clear, funny and talented. I learned many things I did not know before. I am excited to apply what I've learned. Thank you, Danielle!

I've had now two photography classes. Every time I leave with a new wealth of knowledge. There's so much to learn and Danielle has so much to share. I'm not a very creative person and Danielle shares how to look at things in a creative way. I'm excited about learning to look at things differently. We all can be artistic in our own way and it takes a great teach to show us this. Highly recommend taking a class. You will learn so much! 100% worth it!

Danielle is truly a talented teacher and photographer. I highly recommend taking any of Danielle's courses if you want to become a better photographer or creative for yourself or a business. My mom and I took her DSLR beginner course and I've never actually absorbed so much useful information before. I've sat on YouTube trying to learn how to handle my DSLR before but it never clicked as it did during this course. I actually feel like a pro now or at least on my way to becoming one. I was surprised at how very little I knew before taking the class. I can't wait to take her Lightroom course!

Danielle has been so great to work with and I have been so impressed with how she was able to capture the vision of our company, Coble Construction, and our company culture. I highly recommend her for all your online marketing needs.

Danielle is a commensurate professional! She does an amazing job, and is worth every penny! Thanks for all your help in getting our real estate business up and running. We look forward to utilizing more of your services down the road!
