Our Vision Your Vision
October 12, 2014 | Comments Off on Our Vision Your Vision
Stop taking pictures and start making images.
Our dedication to craft is extreme and we place it in the service of vision. We teach much more than technique. We offer proven ways of developing your creative life.
Our goal is not just to take you to Bucket List Destinations, it’s to help you discover your destination.
We’re committed to helping you discover your story, your vision, your voice and achieve your creative goals.
Anyone can take pictures but creating a series of related images with a clear purpose, subject, theme, and style is a much different process – and it’s more fulfilling. The personal discoveries you make along the way will make your images more meaningful, powerful, and effective. We can help you do this. This is what differentiates us from all others.
Have you ever photographed a sand dune? What interests you most about that subject – color, texture, line, form? Once you identify that essential element, what are qualities that you associate with that subject – flowing, organic, sensual, abstract? Answer these and other questions like them and you’ll be well on your way to making more authentic and personally meaningful images. Our workshops can help you ask and answer the questions that are the keys to setting your vision free.
Defining your vision is something that most artists have a hard time doing. Finding the words you resonate with can not only significantly improve your images but also help you find your next step.
Our alumni’s successes are proof that what we share works. Our alumni often join us many times in many locations, not only to travel to great locations, with friends both old and new, but also to pursue personal development. They create a community that eagerly welcomes new members. You can become an alumni too and enjoy all of the benefits we collectively offer.

Interesting Facts About John Paul Caponigro and Seth Resnick
October 10, 2014 | Comments Off on Interesting Facts About John Paul Caponigro and Seth Resnick
John Paul grew up in an artistic family. His father is a black-and-white fine art photographer and his mother is a painter and graphic designer. They introduced him to countless photographers, artists, musicians, writers, dealers, and curators including Ansel Adams and Georgia O’Keefe. The most important thing he learned is that everyone is different – and that’s wonderful.
At the age of two, John Paul almost got his family evicted from their Dublin apartment when he began making murals. His parents quickly paper-trained him.
Why does John Paul always wears black? Is it because he doesn’t want to make more color choices first thing in the morning? Is it because he spills a lot? Or is it because of his childhood obsession with Batman?
John Paul fascination with moving pictures and the sequential arts led him to a brief stint as an illustrator. He even drew backgrounds for Marvel and DC comics. These drafting and storytelling skills remain an integral part of his creative process today.
At a young age, John Paul was once caught snooping in Ansel Adam’s camera bag looking for the “cloud stick” he heard his parents joking about. John Paul got his own cloud stick in 1990; it’s called Photoshop.
John Paul first’s introduction to digital imaging was in the 1970’s while his mother oversaw the printing of Eliot Porter’s Intimate Landscapes book. He instantly wanted what she called the Scitex machines – “million dollar coloring books.” Photoshop was his dream come true.
John Paul has traveled to all seven continents and all five oceans; he calls years he travels to both Greenland and Antarctica bipolar years.
John Paul’s first iPhone is in the collection of the Smithsonian, along with the most interesting collection of his works, including prints in every medium he has used.
John Paul collects prints too, trading with many of the artists he meets, Arnold Newman, George Tice, Joyce Tenneson, and many others.

Seth Resnick grew up in Upstate New York. It was his love of tropical fish that drew him magically into photography. Seth was working in a tropical fish store that was one of the early stores to specialize in reef aquariums. Seth dove in head over heals and was the manager of the dept in 7th grade. There were almost no reliable publications on maintaining reef tanks so Seth started a newsletter called the Legal Reefer which was distributed to a mailing list. He also started writing a book on salt water reef tanks and needed photographs for the book. He interviewed several photographers and was amazed that they wanted over $300 a day to photograph corals and fish in the store. Seth went to the local camera store and bought a camera and strobe set and set out to do his own photographs. He was amazed at the physics involved with both focus and light reflections. From that day forward he knew he wanted to be a photographer. To this day Seth still maintains several large reef tanks.
Seth has always been a technology geek and forward thinker. In 1993 he and his brother found a way to compress video and fit it on a floppy disc. They trademarked and market The Digital Business Card and they were featured in Inc Magazine. Ironically they took their idea to Chiat Day and were told by executives that no one would ever use computers for personal use so the idea of a Digital Business Card would never be valid.
Seth has always been an advocate for photographers rights and became the first President of a world wide photo organization Editorial Photographers.
Seth loves the outdoors and if he doesn’t have a camera he can be found skiing, paddle boarding or kite surfing.
