Class Summary
January 28, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
- Bring your camera with memory cards and an extra battery, as we’ll be doing a lot of shooting.
- Many lens options can work for this workshop: A standard zoom lens (24-70, 18-55); a prime lens (50mm); a macro lens. All are acceptable.
- Make sure to bring your tripod with a quick release plate and a shutter release, if you have one.
- For this workshop, we always recommend bringing personal items that are special to you. Invitations, show programs, trinkets, jewelry, flowers, or even food are all welcome props! We will also have a collection of items, but if you have something of your own, consider bringing it. The items should really tell a story and be able to be translated on a flat surface, so keep that in mind. (Ex. If you photograph an apple from above, will it look like an apple? How can you make it look like one?)
- Feel free to bring snacks and water
- Bring an extra camera battery and memory cards.
- As always, bring your enthusiasm and creative thoughts!
