Intimate Landscape Photography

Already a member? WATCH NOW

Winter is not the most popular season for taking landscape photographs, but Bill Fortney shows us that there is still plenty to capture at his favorite spots in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While grand landscape photography captures the beauty of a large scene, intimate landscape photography focuses on small, unique parts of that landscape and extracts from the overall scene. During this course, Bill recommends equipment for getting started with landscape photography. He talks about image composition, the importance of texture, and how he uses lines of direction when composing his photos. In later lessons, Bill takes viewers into his digital darkroom to talk about his favorite processing techniques and software. Follow along as Bill teaches photographers how to find, compose, and create wonderful, intimate landscape photographs.

This course covered a type of landscape shot ignored by so many instructors. The title describes the type of landscape shots I prefer and the course was exactly what I'd hoped for.

Awesome course - I learned so much. Bill Fortney makes everything so clear. I especially loved his help on gear, aperture settings, exposure, and focus on landscapes. Really great course! I'll watch it again.

Wow!! Bill, you've given us pure gold on this "Intimate Landscape" session. I think I've become a devout "Fortney Fan." You have such a mild and unthreatening manner that it makes me feel like I'm right there with you. This may very well be the best series of all I've watched on Kelby Training. Now, when are you coming to Tupelo, MS? We have some gorgeous landscapes around here in Northeast Mississippi, especially along the beautiful Natchez Trace Parkway. And, an added bonus is that we could take you to photograph the Elvis Presley birthplace. Thanks for a marvelous experience! Please, please, please do more classes. May God bless you richly beyond your imagination, sir! --Dr. Larry S. Anderson
