ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Alan Shefland is a former Hollywood film editor who became more involved in photography after retirement in 2006. Billions of frames of film swept past Alan’s gaze over 35 years giving him all the visual education he could use to apply to his future in photography. In retirement he decided to pursue his passion for photography more seriously and enrolled in classes at The Minnetonka Center for the Arts to enhance his technical skills and understanding of various photographic styles. There Alan participated in a student exhibition that motivated him to continue pursuing photography as a serious art form since then his work has been widely exhibited, and his passion for photography continues to grow. Alan has been teaching photography for over a decade and continues to explore new styles and techniques in his personal work. In teaching Alan finds immense joy in imparting his knowledge and learning from his students because the learning process never truly ends. Alan’s motto is ‘Taking photos enables us to make a visual statement, so go say something visually!’
