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.
New Bedford Historic District, New Bedford, Massachusetts
During the 19th century, New Bedford was the center of the whaling industry in New England. With the decline of the whaling industry in the 20th century, the city committed itself to preserving much of its rich maritime history. The New Bedford Historic District, formed in 1966, features original cobblestone streets, buildings dating back to the 1700s, unique architecture, a whaling museum, and more. We will explore the details, textures, colors, and tones of the Historic District as well as street photography, architectural photography, and more.
