Ann Woodard, of Ann Woodard, Photographer, is a portrait and documentary photographer located in Fairfax County, Virginia. Ann is excited to present her direct workshop to the Beyond the Wanderlust community, “The Art of Life: owning the in-between.” Unexpected. Vulnerable. Powerful. The in-between is just that - slivers of life that almost fell through the cracks and the soul of documentary photography. But the most compelling in-between moments don’t simply happen - they’re created. Ann’s guide will show you how to recognize the powerful in-between moments waiting in your art. Through this workshop you’ll learn how to shape the ideal environment, guide your subjects towards natural connections, using eye contact, and how to compose and edit for meaning. By the end, you’ll bring to light the most compelling slivers of life - the in-between.
