MINIMALIST PHOTOGRAPHY - My New Class with Creative Live is now available for streaming or download.
Minimalism isn't about having less – it's the intentional search for happiness without distractions. In Curtis Jones' NEW class Minimalist Photography, he's teaching you how to create that intention by simplifying your compositions to capture MORE with less. In this class you will learn:
How to understand and apply the fundamentals of creating strong minimalist compositions.
Use negative space with intention. Establish mood, control balance in your frame, and elevate your subject from the visual clutter.
Avoid common traps that can lead to flat or boring minimalist images.
Explore how much information to keep and how much to take away from the image before it loses impact.
Understand common gear and technique choices that complement the minimalist style.
All our current education Photography Adventures can be found over on our dedicated workshop site NewfoundShores.com
Newfound Shores workshops are designed to be supportive, creative adventures. Blending photography, appreciation for the outdoors, and exploration. This is not your typical photography workshop. Our instructors are world class, the destinations unique and full of character. Plus we have the worst/best jokes, usually at our own expense. We all know the best stories involve a little grit and a lot of grin. We’d love to help you find your next creative rabbit to chase.
Two new workshops now open for summer of 2021

A few words from folks we’ve had the pleasure of sharing a past Newfound Shores photo adventure with.
“Curtis and Renée are a dynamic duo who bring their passion for photography, and their different artistic backgrounds into a fun and cool teaching environment, creating a well rounded learning experience. I would highly recommend their workshops here on the edge of the North Atlantic! It will not disappoint! – Janice Drover 2019”
“The workshop exceeded my expectations. Instructors were constantly around providing information and checking in with each of us to ensure that all of our questions were answered. I’ve participated in other photography classes but nothing like what I experienced during this weekend. I would recommend it to anyone regardless of what level of expertise you may have. My best advice, just do it. You won’t regret it. – Patricia Smith 2019”
“It’s refreshing to find honest photographers doing what they love. They inspired us and guided our group throughout the tour.... they were not there for themselves but to give a piece of this place for us to experience... priceless!!! - Michael Pillows 2018”
