Alan grew up on the creative side of the advertising world, working with clients around the world; telling their unique stories in very unique ways.
Along the way, he had the pleasure of working with many, many talented photographers, directors and content creators. He became envious of their art and craft. At first, he saw it as a means of reducing his stress-filled life. As a Chief Creative Officer at the world’s largest Advertising Agency Network, he needed a distraction. A friend gave him a camera. Then he bought another. And then another. His new hobby and daily “creative exercise regimen” quickly turned into a joy-filled and all-consuming passion. Then, his first photo client called. Then another. And then, many more.
His work can be seen throughout the entire hospital set on ABC’s The Good Doctor, in the launch campaigns for the Apple iPhone as well as Cadillac, OnStar, Lockheed Martin, Scholastic and numerous others. His work fills entire walls in Bose stores and Ritz Carlton Hotels worldwide in addition to hanging in numerous private and corporate art collections. His macro, food and still life work can be seen in countless editorial publications as well as featured on products from housewares to clothing to puzzles.
As much as Alan loves creating images, he genuinely loves to teach; sharing his workflow from capture through post-processing and printing. He is a super high-energy instructor with a knack for getting people out of their comfort zone as well as helping them discover and capture beautifully simple things in beautifully unexpected ways.
Alan is the author of Moments in the Monochrome Garden, Another Day, and Beautiful Walls (To Bang Your Head Against). His fourth book, Trippin’ in the Garden on Miracle-Gro will be out eventually but Alan is currently dealing with an acute case of perfection paralysis.
Alan Shapiro‘s work is inspirational. And aspirational. He is a dynamic, fascinating presenter. He is very generous with explaining how to set up the home studio, what lighting to use and why, product and resource lists. And it’s fun while you are learning! Bingo!
Alan Shaprio‘s Online class well paced and well planned class flew by. It was wonderful to see Alan work and create and explain his process. I feel that my money was well spent.
Great webinar on Visual Wilderness, so much useful information, and very engaging.
I enjoyed the class immensely and am eager for further on line classes with Alan Shapiro on Visual Wilderness.
Creative Still Life Photography with Alan Shapiro was very well done presentation. Students of all skill levels able to benefit and immediately improve their results in still life photography. Highly recommend Visual Wilderness as training platform and this instructor.
I loved Alan Shapiro‘s class! It was really helpful just to see the little tips and tricks he uses with his still life photography. While technical classes are incredibly helpful, I really enjoyed that he presented the artistic side and the simplified piece. The relaxed and interactive flow of the class was really great, much more like a conversation than a lecture which made it that much more fantastic!
Please don’t change except to continue to bring the best possible learning experiences to anybody that wants to be the best possible photographer and learn to understand and practice photography to the best of their ability.
The hands on demonstration portion of the Visual Wilderness Online Classes were brilliant! Such a great way to learn!
Enjoyed all the Free Visual Wilderness Webinars so far and has been very educational. Learnt a lot.
Today’s webinar had great information for any experience level. Q&A section very helpful.
Visual Wilderness Online Classes have great information presented in a logical manner
Both Alan Shapiro and Padma Inguva have so much information to share. I would certainly attend other classes from Alan Shapiro and Padma Inguva.
Alan has always been a favorite of mine. Having him share his technique on Visual Wilderness has been fabulous. Alan, is a master of color & light, and a fabulous teacher.
I learn so much from all your Free Webinars. They are incredibly well-organized and you don’t rush the clock if anyone has questions. It’s a pleasure.
Visual Wilderness offers outstanding Educational Products quite different from what is on offer in the landscape photography market.
I enjoyed your Free Visual Wilderness Webinars but it makes it apparent how much more I need to learn.
Having admired Alan Shapiro‘s work, this entertaining and informative behind the scenes view of his masterful creativity was delightful. I learned a tremendous amount. I am looking forward to his next class.
I love the whole idea of Visual Wilderness Online Classes, the people chosen or who I have seen indicated above, really take there time to give the best explanatory process of there topics. I also like the face that I can pick and choose my topic for a very very reasonable price.
I learned a tremendous amount – all the techniques Alan Shapiro covered: profiles, color checker, calibration, new curves, crushing the blacks, sketching w/virtual copies, range masking and more. Love how Alan approaches enhancing each image as a new, individual artistic journey. Looking forward to learning more!
Some people are gifted photographers but cannot teach. Alan Shapiro is not only extremely talented but an excellent teacher. I would take any and all of his classes.
