As the storyteller must captivate the minds and hearts of the viewers, the director needs

to delight the senses and create the environment that speaks to our observers. Together,

they evoke emotional responses from laughter to tears, genuine feelings from gentle to

passionate. A strong photograph compels our viewers to react. It catches their eyes, it

touches their hearts. They observe it, love it, want it solely for themselves, or give away

for someone else to treasure.

As artists, we must use our skills to see and determine color and light, composition and

image layout, trends in fashion and interior design, media, etc. As humans, we use our

hearts to step into our subjects place, and feel their concerns, fears, and emotions.

Carol will be talking about The Home Studio. She will tell us how her own home

studio functions, give us “tips of the trade” and discuss other home studios and how they

work best.
