Join us for a practical exploration of how to enhance your travel photography through the art of seeing and composition. We’ll discuss how to identify compelling subjects and refine your compositions to tell a clear visual story.

About Veloy: I love photography! It has been such a joy in my life. It has given me such meaningful moments—watching the warm glow of a sunrise spread across the sky with people I love or traveling the world with the sole purpose of experiencing and photographing a place and its people or wildlife. It has also given me solitude and quiet; the kind my soul sometimes craves. What I love most about photography is that it has taught me to see the world differently. I have learned to look for the beautiful and the interesting. I’ve learned that in life, I tend to find what I’m looking for. I have found beauty and character everywhere and I have gained a profound appreciation for what I have witnessed. I’ve been photographing for over 30 years and while I was born with the ability to see, photography has taught me how to truly see, not with my eyes only but with my whole soul. I am continually working to learn to see, how to compose, and how to create emotion in an image. And every once in a while I am blessed to create an image that pierces my soul and through sheer emotion speaks powerfully to the souls of those who witness it. I love that photography is a lifelong teacher. The learning never ends, and there is always more to refine and discover. I’m happy to share how I see the world through a lens—what I feel, and what I’ve learned helps create a meaningful image. Photography is something I believe I’ll do for the rest of my life, because it forever teaches me how to “see”.
