In 75 minutes Cole will attempt to convert the most diehard color photographers to black and white. He will be showing images from each of his portfolios, interspersed with his photographic philosophies, including:
And most importantly (even more important than black and white), he will be discussing what he believes is the most essential ingredient to a great image: your Vision.
Cole Thompson is uniquely unqualified to speak on photography:
I don’t have a degree in art or photography, I’ve never taken a class or workshop, I’ve never worked as a photographer, I have no gallery representation and I’m not a Canon Explorer of Light.
Do I have any qualifications? Yes, my images…nothing else matters!

I am so sad I missed this opportunity to hear you speak again! Just opening your email. I know you blew everyone away with your knowledge and thoughts! Hoping it’s a video so I can watch! Thank you Cole for sharing!
