Hunt’s Photo Education Presents… The Weekend Workshops

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, and includes macro photography, street photography, black & white photography, portrait and studio lighting.
During the weekend, each attendee will have the opportunity to attend 5 Photo Walks. 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. These will include “An Intro to Focus Stacking”, “Photograph What You Feel”, “Understanding Black and White Photography”, “Paper: In the Mood for Printing”, and more!
Join us for a fantastic weekend of photo fun!
Photo Walk Options: Below, you will find three options for morning walks and four options for evening walks. After registering, you’ll receive a link to choose which walks you would like to participate in. We will do our very best to place you into the requested walks. Keep in mind that while we have 3-4 choices, you will only be able to participate in two of the walks in the morning and two in the evening.
Please note: Factors can occur that may affect these walks, including weather. These walks are subject to change slightly, but we will attempt to keep the bulk of these walks as close to listed as possible!
The Weekend Workshops Walk Options
Morning Options
? Focus Stacking and Macro at the Stevens-Coolidge Gardens (with Emily Hojnowski)-
??????Focus Stacking is the process of combining images of different focus in order to create images with greater depth of field, which are particularly advantageous in macro images. Attendees will work with Emily on the in-camera processes in-the-field, compare them with regular macro images, and will follow up with image reviews later in the weekend.
? Street Photography at Copley Plaza (with Ron Phillips)-
??????Street photography is all about blending in, finding compositions, and being ready. Ron will work with attendees on finding that subject matter, getting it right in-camera, and shooting without a tripod to create fabulous street photo images!
? Finding Color in Marblehead (with Don Toothaker)-
??????From homes and flags to the ocean and lobster traps, seaside towns provide a beautiful array of color. This walk will emphasize looking for color as we hunt for compositions along the ocean.
Evening Options
? Light Painting in Boston (with Emily Hojnowski)-
??????When creating long exposures, adding additional light?either from flashlights, light wands, or other well-lit devices?can add an additional depth and interest to your images. In this walk, we will add in light along the cityscapes of Boston.
? Drag the Shutter- Portraits with Movement and Flash! (with Rebecca Wade and Emily Hojnowski)-
??????Create dynamic portraits with movement by lowering your shutter speed and using flash (provided by Hunt’s!). This simple technique has endless possibilities and will create some of the most unique portraits imaginable!
? Photography without a Tripod in Harvard Square (with Ron Phillips)-
??????If you really hate using a tripod, this will make your evening, as we work to create amazing compositions and dynamic shots without the aid of a tripod. We’ll traverse Harvard Square in the evening to create stunning exposures of unique compositions!
? Exploring Black & White in Winchester (with Don Toothaker)-
????? The key of this walk is to help attendees see and create effective compositions in monochrome. Don will work with attendees and discuss contrast, long exposures, textures, and much more!
