COVID-19 Policies on Masks and Social Distancing
We no longer require masks for our indoor classes. We ask that you socially distance whenever possible.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! You must contact classes@huntsphoto.com prior to the event for a credit towards a future walk. Please see Cancellation Policy for details.

Important Notes:
If you are attending this workshop, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the workshop. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

In this workshop, we will spend our day creating a variety of unique macro scenarios and learn about the use of light and light modifiers, all with the emphasis of creating images in black & white. We will also cover exposure, composition, how to use macro lenses and extension tubes, and more!
We will be bringing lots of props and flowers to photograph for this workshop. However, we find in our macro workshops that our attendees value shooting some things of their own as much if not more than what we bring. So, while we will have props, feel free to bring your own props, trinkets, and other things that may (or may not) be important to you!
