• Make sure to bring extra memory cards and batteries.

• We recommend NO TRIPODS! There will be many people, so travel light!

• On that note, travel as light as possible with no big bags/backpacks, as there will be a crowd

• There will likely be street vendors and food trucks, and while many have card readers, consider bringing cash

In April of 1775, organized militia from the American Colonies, subjects of the British Crown, stood firm against a far superior British Army that descended upon Lexington and Concord in an attempt to capture leaders of the growing revolt taking place in the colonies.  On the village green in Lexington “the shot heard ‘round the world” was fired and touched off the American Revolution.  Today, dedicated re-enactors keep the history of that moment alive in various reenactments such as realistic encampments full of people, color, tone, and detail.  Join us for a creative journey back in time!

On this workshop, we will photograph at the encampment for the morning and early afternoon, meeting at 9:30am (prior to the start) until 1 or 2pm. (The event will continue until about 4pm, but we will only be on site until between 1 and 2pm. You are welcome to stay on for the remainder of the afternoon.) We will work on storytelling, environmental portraits, and more!

We will then reconvene on June 3rd for an image review, where we will discuss what attendees captured and the editing process.

As a final note, please consider that this event is a rain or shine event, so we will (hopefully) be attending, rain or shine.

Join us for this unique and special photo workshop!
