Photographers scout locations before a scheduled event or workshop to pre-determine viable places for exploration, creativity, and learning. The scouting process often involves targeting specific areas of interest as well as wandering curiously with an open mind to find other points of interest. Almost every photographer new to a location starts with a clean slate and learns as they go. Planning can be beneficial, but serendipity can be joyously fruitful. Whether a moment is planned or spontaneous, learning and growth are essential.

The Hunt’s Photo Explorer Series will consist of excursions that vary in duration depending on the chosen location, and locations will be places not previously visited or scouted for a Hunt’s Photo Walk, Adventure, or Workshop. Everyone will meet at a designated parking location and then begin exploring both in a group and individual format, so as to understand what to look for on a scouting location (and to scout on one’s own). Exploring locations “sight unseen” allows individual’s unique opportunities to further develop their photography skills and creative vision.

Historic Deerfield, Massachusetts

The town of Deerfield in Western Massachusetts is a small town with a pleasant New England-style, with rural landscapes, old homes, and a quaint feel. Historic Deerfield is a small section of the town that consists of villages preserved from the 18th & 19th centuries. We will spend the day exploring the areas inside and out!
