Join VPP Members Jamie Proctor-Brassard, M.Photog.Cr., and Wayne Tarr, M.Photog.Cr., CPP as they offer a bonus workshop brought to you by Professional Photographers of America.

Step away from technical perfection and dive into the expressive possibilities of selective focus, tilt-shift optics, and intentional blur. In this hands-on class, we’ll explore how to use Lensbaby lenses and other creative tools—like freelensing, prisms, and adapted lenses—to add emotion, movement, and depth to your photography. You’ll learn how different Lensbaby optics (like the Composer Pro, Omni filters, and Sweet/Edge/Velvet lenses) affect your image plane, and how to use aperture and lens compression to enhance the effect. We’ll cover both in-camera technique and creative vision—helping you to create purposeful, artistic imagery with intention and joy. Whether you're looking to reignite your personal work or bring something unique to your client sessions, you'll leave with new tools, techniques, and the confidence to bend the rules. Owning Lensbaby lenses isn’t required, just recommended. Both instructors shoot Canon and are happy to share.
