✧ The Three Masters Seminar

The Three Masters
Husband and wife team Mike Langford and Jackie Ranken from New Zealand have each won it twice and Nick Melidonis three times. Mike Langford is also the current ‘Australian Professional Travel Photographer of the Year’ and Nick Melidonis was the runner-up.
With numerous other awards and achievements to their names, these three Master photographers will, for the first time, combine their expertise to provide an inspirational, fun and informative day at Notre Dame University that is not to be missed.
All three photographers have travelled extensively, capturing a vast range of landscapes, people and nature in some of the world’s most scenic locations. Each photographer will dissect samples of their signature images and explore their approach and elements of design in producing emotive images that connect with and engage the viewer.
Mike, Jackie and Nick are sought after professional educators and presenters with many years of sharing their depth of experience and knowledge. Participants will come away with inspiration, fresh ideas and practical solutions to taking their photography to a new and more exciting level.
Topics and themes covered will include:
- Essential elements for a successful landscape image
- Translating what you feel in the field into a powerful image
- The art of design, composition and working the light
- Capturing a ‘sense of place’ in your travel images that connect with the viewer
- Imagination rather than imitation
- Finding inspiration
- How we see versus what the camera captures
- The art of fine art photography – how to make your images different and visually powerful

Jackie Ranken is a multi award-winning landscape art photographer who has established herself as a master photographer with her unique black and white aerial imagery.
