Art Workshops in Guatemala

Each Fall Nance teaches photography workshops in Guatemala. Participants explore the heart and soul of Guatemala by photographing her people during the spectacular festival of Todos Santos including All Saints Day, when indigenous Guatemalans celebrate by crowding the cemetaries to visit with family and friends. They bring flowers and food, celebrate life, then write notes to their loved ones, attach them to kites and send them up to the skies.

Nance spends individual time with each participant, reviewing their work and helping them map out a way to achieve their photographic goals. During daily class sessions, Nance discusses the power of photography, and how best to use the elements of natural light, composition and tension as well as self-editing in the camera and an in-depth look at relating to the subject. Her work is proof that a photographer can be considerate of the culture and respectful of the people and still come away with beautiful images with impact and a message.

Workshops are offered through 'Art Workshops in Guatemala'. For more information, visit their website or email Nance.
