Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a walk in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts. On this walk, we will work on architectural photography, Image composition, Black and White Photography, and other ways of creating images expressively.
The city of Lowell is a wonderful example of an old New England mill town. A city that was once dominant in the textile industry, Lowell’s population boomed during much of the 19th century, peaking in the early 20th century. Lowell, nicknamed “Mill City”, still retains much of its’ early 20th century look (and charm), with many old mills being converted to apartments, artist spaces, shops and more. On this walk, we will photograph around many of the mill areas and along the beautiful Merrimack River with the many bridges and cobblestone walkways.

This will also be an excellent opportunity to use Neutral Density filters to obtain wonderful effects!

Photographers of all skill levels are welcome.
