What The Students Are Saying
Thank you very much for a great class. It was extremely valuable for me...resonating throughout yesterday and this morning.I have a question. In thinking about depth of field and the photos I have been taking (prior to the class) I realized that I was keeping more in many of the pictures because of composition and structure. I enjoy the push and pull of forces both negative and positive in the photo beyond subject matter, this coming from my painting/design background BUT, I try to not subjugate the subject to the structure because I don't want the coldness that comes from too much attention to structure. This is different than finding a point of attention focus as would be the case using depth of field. So, with individual portraits, verses group, I get in really tight so there is nothing but identity and the environment is non existent. Any thoughts to introduce a beam sunlight?

What The Students Are Saying
I found my way over to DUMBO, Brooklyn last evening to take the Beginner course with Andre. It is, of course an eye-opener. Even the simplest point and shoot are incredibly complex, and it is so much better to sit down with someone who really knows photography as opposed to fighting ones way through the manual which simply notes each symbol, and a brief explanation as to what these mean but not in the real world. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.-Gerold Wunderlick

What The Students Are Saying
I signed up for Bob Blanken Photography’s introductory class just before I left on a trip to Switzerland and Istanbul. I was determined to get some great pictures on my vacation so I desperately needed a quick tutorial before I left. Each of us in the class had varying skill levels and each of us had a different type of camera, but Bob was able to instruct us so that we all went away with the information we needed. I had a great time experimenting with my new camera on my trip and felt much more comfortable using it in various settings. When I returned and sent pictures out to family & friends, one of my friends asked ‘Did you get a new camera? These pictures are MUCH better than what you usually send!’-Kumi Anzalone
