Connecticut Newborn , Children and Family Photographer, Lexi-Bella Photography

When I was a child I use to dream about becoming characters in movies or storybooks, wait, actually, I still do this. One of the incredible things about photography is with a little imagination, a good knowledge of light and a touch of magic you can, even for a few minutes become one of those characters. I love stories or fairies or tree nymphs, I always picture them with round little arms and bellies full of the fruits and nectars they drink, long hair that graces their shoulder, a touch of spunk and a glimmer in their eyes….

LBP211: Life, Lit Beautifully

Taught by Maria Fuller

Maria’s ability to capture everyday moments and turn them into extraordinary images is based on her deep understanding of natural light and the many ways to utilize it, as well as the gift of simple instruction, allowing her to guide her subjects in their environment with minimal intervention. This course was developed to allow others to view and capture the ordinary and everyday moments of their life, lit beautifully!

This is an interactive six week lifestyle photography course, taught as three “lessons” of two weeks each. Each lesson will begin with a brief online overview video where Maria will share some of her tips and tricks, followed by a one-hour Q&A session through our online forums. You will then be given two weeks to submit your images, also through the learning forums, at the end of which Maria will host another online critiquing session. During each lesson’s final critiquing session, Maria will indivdually review each submission from each student, and students are encouraged to critique each others’ work. This interactive format – receiving critiques directly from a professional, while also getting feedback from your peers and learning to give constructive feedback to your peers – is truly one of the most effective ways to learn an art form, such as photography.
