What to Bring:

• Bring your camera and lenses. Standard zoom (apx 24-70mm), primes (50mm, 85mm), and even telephoto zooms (70-200mm) are all appropriate, but make sure to bring only what you want to carry.

• Make sure to bring extra memory cards and batteries.

• We recommend NO TRIPODS! There will be many people, so travel light!

• On that note, travel as light as possible with no big bags/backpacks, as there will be a crowd

• There will likely be street vendors and food trucks, and while many have card readers, consider bringing cash

Misc:

Parking: Find any available parking you can.  The town will have several designated parking lots.  Arrive early as this event is heavily attended.  Plan on paying up to $20.00 for parking.  If you can, car pool with other attendees, that’s a good idea!

A few times a year, the town of Brimfield, Massachusetts hosts a sprawling, unique fair and flea market that features antiques, antiquities, and charismatic vendors.  The event– spread throughout the town– is a smorgasbord of color, tone, detail, people, and interesting objects for photographers of all skill sets to explore creatively.  Join us for an afternoon of fun and interest in Brimfield at America’s oldest outdoor flea market!

On this workshop, we will photograph at the market for the majority of the day, meeting at 9:30am (prior to the start) until the end of the festival at 5pm. (If you cannot attend for the entirety, that’s OK, but we will be in attendance for the day!) We will work on storytelling, environmental portraits, and more!

We will then reconvene on May 28th for an image review, where we will discuss what attendees captured and the editing process.

As a final note, please consider that this event is a rain or shine event, so we will (hopefully) be attending, rain or shine.

Join us for this unique and special photo workshop!
