Photographer Susan Teare shares tips on how to create successful photographs in a variety of light situations, highlighting her own experiences working as a residential, commercial and landscape design photographer. A study in indoor and outdoor living, Teare's work explores how we experience spaces, how we flow through them, thrive in them, feel connected to nature in them, and how we live and work together.

Making the right decisions when photographing spaces can make an image look inviting and natural, shifting the aesthetics of a room in subtle and dramatic ways. Teare will discuss and show the process of creating and editing several images, worked from start to finish. She will demonstrate her typical workflow, from shooting, styling, and lighting, to editing and post-processing. Teare will also present her experiences as a professional photographer, including the perspective of “a day in the life” and tips on business strategies. Participants are invited to share photographs they've taken for an informal critique at the end of the session.

Susan Teare's photography has been featured in Fine Homebuilding, Better Homes and Gardens, Design New England, Garden Design, USA Today (Salvage Secrets), HGTV Magazine, and New England Home. She is currently working on numerous books with Taunton Press and contributing weekly to Fine Homebuilding's blog, Through the Lens.
