Hunt’s Photo Education Presents…The Weekend Workshop: A long weekend conference featuring the Hunt’s Photo Education Team! The weekend will feature education seminars, photo walks and workshops, image reviews, editing and file management, and fine art printing. Our walks and workshops will feature a variety of (mostly) new options, including macro photography and focus stacking, portraits and lighting, light painting and long exposure, and black & white photography.

During the weekend, each attendee will have the opportunity to attend five Photo Walks/Workshops. We will have an introductory Photo Walk on the first evening that everyone will be able to attend. On days 2 and 3, our instructors will conduct one Photo Walk in the morning and one Photo Walk in the evening. They will repeat the same schedule on Friday and Saturday. (So, if you attend a Photo Walk with Instructor A on Friday morning, you’ll have the ability to attend a different Photo Walk with Instructor B on Saturday morning.)
During the middle part of Friday and Saturday, we will have image reviews, file management sessions, and printing sessions. You are welcome to attend these, or you can take a break, if needed! We will also have lead-in online presentations during the week, which you can attend for no additional charge.

This year will be centered out of our BRAND NEW Hunt’s Photo Waltham store location. Our Waltham store has two large classroom areas which will be excellent for our editing and review sessions, as well as some of our hands-on workshops for the weekend! For planning purposes, be aware that many of our walks and workshops will be taking place within the vicinity of Waltham/Newton and the surrounding areas.

Join us for a fantastic weekend of photo fun!

 

Please Note: We are currently finalizing our Photo Walk/Workshop Schedule. Prior to June 1st, we will send out a sign-up notification to those registered to put their first, second, third, and fourth option preferences for registration. At that time, we will put everyone into their respective walk/workshop times. (We will do our best to accommodate everyone!) 

Please Also Note… As we are finalizing this workshop, some of the details are subject to change. However, most of the basic details, such as dates & location, will not change.
