Rave Reviews for Less is More
The lessons are complete, the information dispersed and the overwhelming reviews for
Less is More are in…a total success (see below)!
Originally, the class was to be taught in a conventional classroom complete with a field trip with
lesson prompts. The Covid-19 pandemic forced us inside, isolated and online
through the Zoom platform.
I cannot begin to say how much the research and preparation for this class has propelled my
current approach to photography. We all have the tendency to include more than is
necessary to get your point across. This is distracting and can create confusion.
The purpose of the class was to identify the subject, and through technical and
creative controls, include only the essential. This journey to seeing the whole
in a microcosm of a scene has been inspiring and motivating for me. In this time of social
isolation, the area close to where I live has produced a treasure of potential exploration
and image possibilities.

Cindy Horovitz Wilson Images from Less is More
I can say the same for my students, examples of whose work follows. Whether finding
inspiration in their kitchens or backyards, I am proud of their growth in grasping the
concepts of minimalism and essence in two short weeks. The elements of line, texture, color,
space and storytelling are evident in the thoughtful compositions in response to the
assignments. The bridge to making a photo instead of taking one has been crossed.

Reviews and Testimonials
What a great class! I hope you'll continue to teach this way if we're social distancing for the long haul. Your assignments are so creative!
So very much to ponder and learn.
I want to say how much I enjoyed this class. It’s opened my eyes to seeing photos in a different manner. It also explained why I like taking
certain photos. Thanks for all you did this time. You have gone above and beyond what was expected bringing the class online.
Thank you for helping me understand why it is that there are some photos I want to look at for a long time, over time, and others not so
much. Maybe it's because seeing the "essence" is what draws the emotional/intellectual/aesthetic connection between the viewer and the
image.
This class has changed my thinking about seeing in a major way. Now to execute it! 😨
Thank you so much!
Cindy, I always leave your class knowing one more time what a gift you have in transferring your passion and talent to those you teach.
It is such a gift!
