Train Your Photographic Eye: Small Habits, Better Photos

Does your photography happen mostly when you take a trip, plan an outing, or finally find a free weekend? You love it, but between those moments, the camera sits and progress feels sporadic. What if photography became part of your everyday life, a hobby you love and a habit you build? Come with your camera or phone and sense of curiosity. Leave with repeatable exercises that build habits and foster growth in your craft. Join conservation photojournalist Heather Physioc for an interactive workshop on turning small, repeatable practices into lasting creative growth. Through field stories, bite-sized lessons, and a quick photography exercise, you’ll discover ways to keep learning between big outings—and find fresh photographic possibilities in the life you already have. You’ll learn how to: - Train your eye every day, with or without a camera in hand. - Get unstuck with mini-assignments, from ten-minute experiments to ongoing photo collections. - Choose ongoing “practice threads”—like light, composition, movement, or storytelling—to give your learning direction. - Connect everyday practice to bigger projects, using what you learn to shape your next outing. Balancing life as an advertising executive and conservation photojournalist, Heather understands the challenge of making room for creative work. She brings a teacher’s approach and a working photographer’s experience to making small windows of practice count.
