Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition through the aid of diffusers and reflectors.
We will begin photographing late afternoon in the sunlight (and shade) and work to sunset. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
For this workshop, we have chosen the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover, Massachusetts for our shooting location. The Stevens-Coolidge Place is a unique estate in North Andover that benefits from a beautiful indoor space, but is also famous for beautifully maintained grounds that include a rose garden, greenhouse, and more. On this workshop, we will benefit from the Stevens-Coolidge Place?s outdoor grounds, which will offer us an excellent variety of shooting options. Please note that part of your ticket price goes to your entrance into the Stevens-Coolidge Place. Hunt’s Photo Education is extremely happy to be working in cooperation with the Stevens-Coolidge Place!
