FINAL INFORMATION

An Evening With

Freeman Patterson

Suits all levels and interests ...

BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL!
February 4 - Sydney

OUR UNIQUE GUEST...
Join one of Canada’s most iconic photographers for an evening of creative and thought provoking opportunities. This is a rare chance to learn from Freeman Patterson’s internationally famous
photography style and ethos.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Be inspired to greater creative freedom ...
“I have completely wiped the terms “creative tools” and “creative techniques” from my vocabulary, because all tools are intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually inert. The creativity comes from the
person who uses the tools. For example, when you read a great novel, it couldn’t matter less to the reader if the writer used a Dell computer, a Remington typewriter, or a pencil to write the book. The creativity came entirely from the writer. Similarly, it’s worthwhile to remember that Leonard Da Vinci did not have Photoshop and Michelangelo did not have Lightroom.” “No matter what a person believes or does not believe, everybody agrees that we are part of an awesome natural Creation. As part of Creation, every human being is naturally endowed with creativity (we are Creatures). So, the issue that confronts each of us is “How can I stimulate and use the creativity with which I am naturally endowed?” I deal openly and directly with this question in my presentation.”

FOR ALL INTEREST & LEVELS ...

WHAT IS K.I.S. ...?
This is a very unique style of teaching photography that has
seen Darran Leal (and now his son Pearce Leal) in demand
around the world. Why? Because it helps any photographer
to understand that they do not need to over complicate
photography to achieve fantastic results. The K.I.S. (Keep
It Simple) philosophy will quickly allow you to master
techniques and styles of photography that will expand your
photographic interests
