Flattening the Field: The Creative Power of Lens Compression in Wildlife, Nature & Portraiture

Lens compression is a visual effect associated with telephoto lenses.  When photographed properly, the subject's foreground and background appear closer together in an image than they are to the naked eye.  The effect is created by using various camera distances and positions when capturing an image.  By doing so, it can make things in the frame seem closer or larger than they really are.  The results can be uniquely beautiful, quirky, impactful, surreal and atypical from the traditional images of landscapes, wildlife and portraits.  This session will introduce you to the techniques, equipment and scenes needed to create uniquely compelling, artistic images that move your work into a realm beyond the classic and cliché.  

Lisa Langell began her photography business in 2010 after careers in educational psychology, floral design, consulting, and helping launch two successful Ed-Tech startups.  Since then, her award-winning work has been published in Outdoor Photographer, Arizona Highways, Ranger Rick magazine, and more.  She is an Image Master for Tamron Americas. Lisa blends her background in psychology and design to create expressive nature photography and art, and she’s equally passionate about teaching others through her webinars and field-based workshops.  Known for her warmth, humility, and expertise, Lisa offers photographers unforgettable learning experiences in Alaska, Florida, Arizona, and beyond.
