CREATE MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY. CREATE (EN)VISIONOGRAPAHY. CREATE ART.

WITH JULIA ANNA GOSPODAROU

Learn how to create photography starting from your vision, so your final image can trigger emotion in the viewer. To do that you need to look inside yourself, as artists do, and not only focus on presenting your subject. You need to know not only your camera and software, but know yourself as an artist.

LONG EXPOSURE, ARCHITECTURE, FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY PRACTICAL TOOLS

After the success of my best-selling book From Basics to Fine Art – Black and White Photography – Architecture and Beyond, considered by prestigious fine art photographers “the best book on black and white photography written in the last 40 years”, this new video tutorial gives the practical tools on how to create fine art photography in a new way, by working with long exposure and architecture, but extending the knowledge to any subject and technique you may work with

(en)Visionography and Photography Drawing were highly praised by numerous critics and  photographers – “I consider Julia’s (en)Visionography and Photography Drawing the most important innovation in black and white photography since the invention of the Zone System.” (George DeWolfe). In this video, I will analyze these concepts and show how you can practically apply them in fine art photography.

KNOWLEDGE TESTED IN PRACTICE WITH RESULT TENS OF AWARDS

Having the experience of winning more than 80 awards and distinctions with my photography in international photography competitions,  having taught numerous workshops and mentored students worldwide on fine art photography and (en)Visionography, and after having received many requests to talk about (en)Visionography in a video format, I am releasing this extensive Long Exposure, Architecture, Fine Art Photography Video Tutorial on Creating (en)Visionography,  that will show you the secrets of how I create (en)Visionography, this new way of creating fine art photography.

I will show you how to conceive your photography according to your vision so the result can provoke emotion in the viewer – the same emotion you feel yourself when creating your work.

2.5+ HOUR LONG EXPOSURE, ARCHITECTURE, FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY VIDEO TUTORIAL + NEW ADVANCED PROCESSING eBOOK

In more than 2.5 hours of rich content, Julia analyzes what she calls (en)Visionography, the new way of creating fine art photography.

JULIA’S COURSES TESTIMONIALS

“What a fantastic course! You have such vast knowledge of architecture and photography. I’ve watched many tutorials on fine art and architecture photography over the years and your knowledge and method is unmatched. I’m honored to learn from a great photographer and architect like you. Thank you” – Matthew R.

“I purchased the bundle as soon as I saw it. Already I’m well into it and congratulate you on what so far is an outstanding tutorial.“ – Richard L.

“I ordered the new video on the day it was released. It’s the best investment I made in my photography in a long time. The course is full of great advice. I can’t wait to practice and receive my completion certificate.” – Helen M.

“I first felt attracted to BnW Architectural Photography about 10 years ago. Since then I have been looking to improve my photography in this genre, and have reviewing images that I liked and have found many of my favorites among Julia Anna Gospodarou’s images.
However, my images always seemed to fall short compared with Julia Anna’s. Whilst some of my images were good they seemed to have a little something missing.
Recently I watched a Julia Anna Gospodarou video entitled: Understanding Fine Art Architectural Photography, with the demonstration of post processing an image of The Oculus in NYC. This showed the step by step processing accompanied by Julia Anna’s thought process, and I was able to see exactly how she acheives some of her outstanding images.
To say this was eye opening was an understatement. Suddenly I could see where the magic came in, and what I needed to do in my own post processing. This was inspirational and an approach I would thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in this genre and looking to improve.
Thank you Julia Anna!” – Jim C.

“Julia’s new video tutorial “Understanding Fine Art Architectural Photography” is outstanding just as I’ve come to expect from her instruction, whether in the form of a video, book, article or workshop. The first half of the video course is theory and the 2nd half is a presentation of her techniques used to accomplish the wonderful black and white images she routinely produces. Julia is open with sharing those techniques, which is valuable to me. The techniques she shares are not the typical Photoshop/Lightroom techniques that you may see from other instructors. The techniques are tailored for B&W work of the type that Julia produces, and which I try to emulate, or at least use as a starting point, in my own work.
In the theoretical portion there are many interesting ideas presented, each of which can lead down multiple pleasant rabbit trails. Luckily for me, it’s more about the journey than the product anyway. One of those ideas was seeking out a architecture course.
With respect to the practical 2nd half of Julia’s tutorial I found new useful techniques there even though I have already read her books and articles and attended several of her workshops. The new technique that stands out for me is the use of multiple B&W conversions blended with masks. I’ve found that to be useful in achieving the final image I want, as well as saving time.
So, I highly recommend “Understanding Fine Art Architectural Photography” and Julia’s other books, articles and workshops.” – Richard L.

“Julia Anna, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your latest tutorial. I downloaded it on the day of its release and have just completed watching all the chapters. I found it enlightening and opened my mind to alternatives to my creativity. Whilst I am fairly comfortable with the technical aspect of processing, the one element and to me the most important, the artistic aspect, is something I know I need to develop more. Watching you go through your processing workflow has been a revelation and now I feel I can begin to look at my work from a totally different perspective. For that, I am truly grateful and forever thankful and now look forward to moving forward in my own artistic journey. Kind regards”  – Jim S.

“I bought the course. My first impression is that it’s a great advanced course. A great case full of tools, techniques and inspiration. I will need a lot of time and energy to then implement the vision of my pictures. But nothing comes from nothing. Many Thanks.” – Ralf G.

“I just bought your last course a couple of days ago. It has been so rewarding to watch this. I still struggle a bit with the quality of my selections but I am slowly getting there. Today I posted my first image processed with your technique here on IG. If you bother to see you will understand that I still have a lot to learn about light. But for me this is a huge leap in the right direction. Thank you so much for teaching me the new techniques.” – Jan Eigil M.

“I absolutely loved the new video and book. Thank you so much.

I purchased Julia’s new video, From Vision To Final Image-Mastering B&W Photography, on the day it was released. I must say, it’s the best investment I made regarding the advancing of my ability to visualize and process images.

In five and a half hours Julia took me through the complete process. The visualization, the exposure, the processing. Nothing was left out. The information presented impressed me. It’s not a recipe to follow to get the same flavour every time, but a set of principles to follow to achieve my vision.

I’m no stranger to Julia (I sometimes tease her that I want to be as good as her when I grow up). I’ve followed her for many years. I have her book, and I’ve studied her tutorials. Yet, this new video is enlightening, and I’ll be re-watching it several times.

If you are intent on improving, and honing your black and white photography then this video course is definitely a must-have in your library. And, a must-watch.”  – Mike H.

“I was so excited to receive the news about your course. I did not have a chance to attend your live (physical or on-line) workshops and I guess this is the next best option for me. The videos are excellent as they give me a very good helicopter overview of how your whole process works. After watching your videos, they cleared up many of my questions/gaps and now I have a better overall understanding of how to create fine art architectural photos.

I enjoy your teaching videos a lot and look forward to you publishing more such series in the coming future.” – Peter M.

“I am enjoying very much this course, in fact I will develop some pictures i have from the past following your advice, let’s see how it goes.

Julia Anna’s approach in her “Mastering BW processing” videos is really outstanding. She has helped me understand step by step the process and the tricks behind the processing BW. This course is the perfect companion to the previous set of videos in which the capturing process was analyzed.” – Julen J.

“I purchased the video,  after seeing a link to a sample YouTube segment,  and I am very happy with my purchase!  I knew most of the techniques used, but hadn’t equated them to edit in that way. Very interesting and artistic! I love the humor in your lessons too. I can’t wait to see more of your incredible work!!” – Aaron N.

“Thank you for your wonderful course From Vision to Final Image. Until now it was, without a personal course, hard to understand how the post-processing took place. And now, this course makes everything (a lot) clear, from Vision to the Final Image. The image below I made it, inspired by you, on my own way, now I will do it again. Thank you so much for this video course. It will help me a lot.” – Ferdinand de G.

“This is the rare course that covers both the artistic vision side ”the why” behind your images, and the technical ”how to” side of it. If you’re a fan of Julia Anna’s work in any way this course is for you. It is the photography equivalent of a world-class magician revealing all of his magical tricks. As ”Spinal Tap” famously coined, Julia Anna has turned this course ”up to eleven.” – Lance S.

“The course is excellent. I am working my way through the videos and they are extremely clear and helpful. I have always wanted to learn how to produce fine art architectural images. I have watched a lot of videos but they always have all the isolated sections done. Here Julia Anna actually shows how to create the separate areas that we can then work on. That one lesson is worth the cost of the course. So glad I bought this course.” – Phillip Z.

“I must say the course is excellent. I’ve been a fan of you for a long time. I’ve bought all the books and videos. Some real lightbulb moments for me. “ – Fergal O.

“I am completely satisfied with all three (en)Visionography courses with video training that I have purchased. They begin with a brief overview of transforming a picture into a vision. The author’s explanation of the emotional nature of the creative process and the cultivation of perception are superb.  The technical methods are clearly explained and satisfying results were produced quicker than I had anticipated. The courses have been motivating and aroused a new level of passion to just get out there and experience the world differently. Please keep them coming.

I watched a few of your youtube videos. They too were excellent and I’m sure would benefit photographers of any skill level.  Congratulations on your latest efforts and happy clicking.” – Bruce M.

“I find your work deeply inspiring.  I have enjoyed all your videos and written material but I particularly appreciate the approach you have taken in this latest video in showing us the whole process from start to finish.  It is a wonderful learning tool.” – Louise S.

“I’m working through your excellent and inspiring course. Thank you for sharing your insights, both aesthetic, technical and metaphysical.” – Gerald V.

“Julia Anna’s approach, (en)Visonography, is a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their Fine Art Photography.” – Larry D.

“Julia Anna changed the way I see, the way I approach a subject, the way I react to light, and the way I process my images.“  – Jim W.

“What a wonderful instructive course which has really inspired me to perfect my B&W fine art photography. I learned so much as Julia Anna shared her processing methodology in full and easy to follow detail.” – Alan T.

“Thank you so much for your course. You can read bits and pieces about fine art architecture and about long exposure photography here and there but I haven’t found so far such a comprehensive tutorial that puts everything together and explains everything from both a practical and an artistic angle. It was a revelation for me. More of this!” – Randy S.

“So many tips to pick up from this video from a real master. I really enjoyed your demonstration of what you can achieve with a tilt-shift lens. Excellent editing ebook too.”– Peter G.

“Julia Anna you are such an inspiration. I’m honored to learn from you. This tutorial is a fantastic addition to the workshops I attended with you. I loved it and it gave me ideas for my work.” – Chris M.

“I have ordered Julia’s tutorial and I just finished watching it and reading the bonus book. I’m very happy and inspired and I cannot wait to get out to put into practice what I learned. I recommend the tutorial to anyone who wants to learn to do long exposure photography like a pro and express their artistic vision in their photography. If you want that, Creating Envisionography is for you.” – Alex W.

“Thank you so much for what was an eye-opening to not just the possibilities of post processing, but ultimately, my own vision and how I will capture/create images in the future.” – Hardy L.

“Great tutorial. Easy to follow and apply and with an insight into artistic vision and (en)Visionography that opens your eyes. Highly recommended.” – Tony S.

“I’ve been following your work for many years and it never fails to impress me. You are a great artist and a great teacher. Thank you for another fantastic tutorial. Regards.” – Stacy N.

“Best course on artistic long exposure photography and architecture. I was inspired by it to shoot buildings even if I’m a landscape photographer mainly. But practically you can apply what you learn in this course to both. Loved the tips. Thank you for the inspiration.” – Christophe D.

“I am completely satisfied with all three (en)Visionography courses with video training that I have purchased.” – Bruce M.
