Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a Personal Vision Shootout at the Topsfield Fair. This walk is geared toward intermediate and advanced photographers. During the walk, we will “strengthen your photographic muscles” by challenging you to work outside of your comfort zone while also developing cohesion in the photographic work you produce.

The Topsfield Fair is one of America’s oldest agricultural fairs, dating back to the early 1800s when the fair consisted of a showing of livestock and agricultural equipment. It now has become an New England institution, bringing in nearly half a million visitors every year over the 11-day run.

During our time here, we will tell the story of the Topsfield Fair as each person sees it. Through independent work, photographers will develop individual concepts and look at what catches their eye and imagination. Each photographer will create images to go along with those concepts and tell the story of the Topsfield Fair as each person sees, hears, smells, and feels it. The end result of this shootout will be a “photo story” of the Topsfield Fair.
