What You Will Learn?

  • Are you ready to change the way you see the world and compose your images? .
  • Join me, Polly Rusyn, to learn the science behind seeing and how to speak the brain’s visual language. Go way beyond the boring old classic composition tools and start to see the world differently. Once you do this you will never see things in the same way again! .
  • I’m a bit of a geek and have always loved figuring out how things work, and that goes for photography too! And I don’t mean the technical side. When I began doing street photography I was desperate to figure out why some photos worked when others didn’t so that I could improve my own. So I sought out the work of "the greats” and I reverse engineered them, I studied them, and I learned about psychology too. So while street photography is usually seen as an art, I want to teach you the science!.
  • Using examples of my own work you’ll learn about:.
  • Before we dive into all the science I’m also going to kick off the class by sharing with you what I believe is the formula for a great street photo and you’ll get a simple framework to apply to your own work whether it’s at the time of shooting or afterwords when picking your best shots. This first lesson is the longest one because it will give you a great foundation for the rest of the class..
  • This class is designed for anyone with curiosity, the desire to create, and a camera (and it can be your iPhone!). It’s aimed at beginner street shooters but photographers of all levels can have fun with the principles and the ideas I share. The result will be that you will start to see, think about, and frame the world in new and exciting ways and your confidence in your own creativity will grow..
  • I believe everything is learnable, and here are the headlines of what you will learn in my class:.
  • Lesson 01: The Secret Formula.
  • The importance of ideas, the blueprint, and a mindset shift.
  • Lesson 02: Brain Language 101.
  • Three men in white coats and the Principle of Symmetry.
  • Lesson 03: Space Invasion.
  • The Principles of Separation and Proximity, and the power of the frame.
  • Lesson 04: Algorithms + Patterns.
  • A magnificent brain filter and the Principles of Similarity and Repetition.
  • Lesson 05: The Magic of the Triangle.
  • The Principle of Closure.
  • Lesson 05: Dimensional Illusions.
  • The Principle of Continuity and street photography without people.
  • Are you in?.
  • Let’s do this thing! Can’t wait to see what images you create..
