Nidhi Dahiya, owner of Nids Creations Photography is a contemporary portrait photographer. Her style of fashion-inspired portraiture is a fine blend of fantasy and realism. She is a master in posing different body types to highlight the best in her subjects. Nidhi believes beauty is not on the outside, it’s something that shines out of a person when you make him/her feel confident and secure. Nidhi’s most compelling quality is her ability to boldly color her images with elements of fantasy while capturing the true essence and bond between her subjects.

Through a variety of examples, John will explore seven classic rules of photo composition. An in-depth discussion of these techniques will encourage the participant to see their subjects in a variety of ways. The art of photography is capturing a scene in a way that invites the audience to linger for a moment. These time-honored rules help us achieve that goal by coaxing the eye to move around our photos. Finding a great subject is only half the goal. Recording it in a way that gives it “life”, that is truly an art.
