Hunt's Photo Workshop: Lensbaby in the North End
2023-09-09 08:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
Photo Walk: Saturday September 9th, 8-11am
Image Review: TBA
Lensbaby lenses are a unique series of lenses, available for most camera systems that give a variety of looks and effects. From swirling bokeh to dramatic vignettes, velvety glows to swirly blurs, and often with a bright sharp center, these lenses present a unique style for the user experience. Lensbaby lenses are also not always the easiest to use or understand and require a lot of practice and fine-tuning.
For this walk, we will be working with Lensbaby lenses in the North End. Quaint eateries, fine restaurants, and historic locations are characteristics that make the North End one of Boston’s premier destinations. This walk is a terrific opportunity to learn how to use your Lensbaby, with plenty of subject matter.
Our instructor for this walk– Emily Hojnowski– is a Lensbaby Ambassador and uses these lenses on every shoot! Not sure what Lensbaby is? Here’s a good way to find out!

Hunt's Photo Walk: Morning in the North End
2023-09-09 08:00 - 11:00
For this workshop, we will be working on Street Photography in the North End. Quaint eateries, fine restaurants, and historic locations are characteristics that make the North End one of Boston?s premier destinations.
This walk is a terrific opportunity to work on street and candid photography, with plenty of subject matter. We will discuss managing ISO and shutter speed in low-light conditions to never miss a shot, as well as the art of blending in and going unnoticed.
We will also try to get it all right in camera! While you are welcome to shoot in RAW, we’ll also discuss the joy of shooting for the end result in JPEG! Join us for a fun walk!!
*Please note: This walk was originally a Lensbaby-specific walk. If you want to use a Lensbaby on this walk, you’re welcome to! However, it is no longer a “Lensbaby Only” walk.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2023-09-13 18:30 - 20:30
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our new Multi-Session Series. In our Multi-Session Series, we will meet over the course of a number of weeks, generally at the same time each week. During that time, we will discuss a specific element of a topic and end the session by giving a photographic assignment. That assignment will be due for completion before the next class meeting, and we will review those images at the start of the next session. If for some reason you cannot attend one of the sessions, don’t worry! They will be recorded and you will be able to watch them at your leisure!
Our Multi-Session Series is designed to “keep the conversation going” by engaging with our attendees in a more personal way. In each of these classes, we will have limited attendees and provide direct feedback on images. We encourage photographers of all skill levels to consider these classes, as they will build upon your experience and provide an excellent chance to work on your imagery!
Editing in Adobe Lightroom
This is a great opportunity to build up your editing skills in Lightroom!
Adobe Lightroom is the choice program for professionals and amateurs, with ever-growing capabilities and options. However, there are many levels to understanding in the program. What do we do to make basic changes? Once we learn those changes, how can we “step it up” and figure out what to we’re supposed to do? How do we make images pop? And finally, how do we put it all together and making finishing touches to our images.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for this three-week course that helps answer many of these questions. What’s most important about this course is that we will give weekly editing assignments, and we will review those edits at the start of the following week. Often, Lightroom users struggle with the inability to determine what changes are “good” or “correct”. While those terms are subjective, we will help you along in the editing process to see how to make determinations along the way.
In week one, we’ll talk about file types and adjustment ranges using Basic Development controls. More than anything, we will be emphasizing global changes and understanding what can be done with an image in Lightroom. In week two, we’ll dive into Color, Curves, Contrast & Clarity & Texture and begin to discuss a variety of masking techniques. These changes will help make your images pop. Finally, in week three, we’ll discuss advanced editing, including Sharpening, HDR, Pano stitching and more.
Each week, we will give an assignment and students will upload their edited photos prior to the next class. We will, by and large, be working with your images in the class.
This class is strongly recommended for anyone either looking to just get started with editing, or to fine-tune your editing skills!
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that will include information about how to access the online class, including an online ID code that you will need to get into the class.

In week two, we’ll edit landscape images from start to finish using Adobe Lightroom Classic. By week three, we’ll discuss composition, dynamic range, depth of field, and focus.

Hunt's Photo Workshop: Cameras and Drones at Kaaterskills Falls
2023-09-16 15:00 - 19:00
Join award-winning photographers Andy Leclerc & Jamie Malcolm-Brown at the impressive Kaaterskills Falls (231 ft tall with two drops) in Catskills, NY. This is one of the few waterfalls in New England that makes you feel like you are in Iceland. It is spectacular to experience! This workshop is for drones, regular cameras, or both if you have them.
If you are a beginner photographer, we will review the fundamentals, including camera settings, ND filters, and much more! If you are confident with your camera settings, we will show you how to find unique compositions and use advanced techniques.
This workshop includes a 1.5-hour Zoom session to review your images and discuss post-processing techniques.
The walk to the falls is .8 miles. It is moderately challenging, though the hardest part is the stairs going up when leaving the falls. We plan to go behind the falls depending on the conditions. Bring rain gear. You will get wet!
If you plan to use a drone, you should be reasonably experienced. There are a lot of tree branches and obstacles to be aware of if you fly at the bottom of the waterfall.
About the instructors:
Jamie Malcolm-Brown is a drone and landscape photographer that focuses on the natural beauty of New England. He explores the backroads and out of the way places searching for unique locations and conditions. Jamie’s goal is to share the beauty that nature has to offer in hopes of inspiring people to get out and explore however they can.

Andy Leclerc is a photographer based in Connecticut, USA. He is well known for his editing skills and creative ideas. He believes passionately in developing new techniques and working with other creatives which he taglines, “community over competition”. His photographs have been featured/published in FORBES, DRONEAWARDS 2019, Sky Pixel, DJI Photographic Society, Drone User Magazine, and Masters of Drone Photography.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Recognizing and Photographing Shore Birds
2023-09-17 08:00 - 11:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Emily Hojnowski and Mass Audubon Teacher Naturalist Correne George for a morning photographing at Parker River Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island. On this walk, we will have numerous shooting opportunities to photograph birds in the area. In addition to photographing, we will be joined on this walk by Mass Audubon Teacher Naturalist Correne George who will discuss how to recognize and find shore birds, as well as how to ethically approach and work with birds with a naturalist approach. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend!
Please note: There will be a good amount of walking on this Photo Walk. Nothing too treacherous, but make sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Video Basics- Hunt's Photo, Melrose
2023-09-19 18:00 - 20:00
Course Description
Photographers everywhere love that digital cameras have the capability of creating ?videos?. But what important settings are there? How can I take full advantage of my camera that has 4K 60fps, and what am I even saying when I say those words??? I just want to make a great video- what do I need to know?!
Well, fret no more! Video Basics is geared for photographers that want to use their camera for occasional videos! This is the class that is going to give you insight into the basic settings and why to set them; how to take full advantage of the best qualities of your camera, and leaves a lot of the higher-end technical stuff out of the picture.
In this jam-packed course, we?ll cover basic camera settings (some of which you?re used to from still photography); basic menu settings such as frame rates, resolution, and codecs; framing, composition, and cinematography basics. The goal of this course is to send you on your way much more confident about how to set up your next video.
A clear difference:?This class is not necessarily geared toward someone that is looking to branch into filmmaking (though it couldn?t hurt). This class is geared towards the photographer that wants to make casual videos. If you are a still photographer looking to branch into video to enhance your portfolio, our Intro to Filmmaking class is a more advanced and challenging class that will dig deeper into many of these concepts. But hey, you can always take both classes!

Specifically, we will cover brief computer file management, the importance of keywords, flagging and rating photos, and searching metadata to find images. In Week 2, we?ll start with the basic adjustments using Basic Development controls. More than anything, we will be emphasizing global changes and understanding what can be done with an image in Lightroom. We?ll then dive into Color, Curves, Contrast & Clarity & Texture. These changes will help make your images pop. In Week 3, we?ll discuss advanced editing, including local adjustments, such as radial and graduated filters, and how to ?finish? the image- sharpening, noise reduction, and more.
In-between each session, we will give assignments to help you become more proficient and grasp the material! This class is strongly recommended for anyone looking to further their skills with Lightroom!
An important note about this course! There are now a few different versions of Adobe Lightroom right now. This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. The other version of Lightroom, commonly known as ?Adobe Lightroom CC? (yes, we understand you may be confused by this) is a more mobile and cloud-based program. The look and feel of the program is completely different? This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. (See graphic on the right.) If you are unsure, feel free to email us at classes@huntsphoto.com. Important: If you are taking this course, make sure to download/update the program in advance, as you will not be able to download the program at the store. Older versions, such as Lightroom 5 or 6, are also acceptable, though not all functions will be available.

About Bob Fletcher
Robert Fletcher began his full-time photography career in 1970.

Over time, he became interested in photographing wildlife and landscapes, mostly for personal pleasure. In 1999, he was asked to become a ?Stringer? for Canon USA and has been in that position since then. It has led Robert towards teaching, leading workshops and sharing his life-long passion with others. He always looks forward to sharing his knowledge of photography with those who are anxious to learn.

Hunt's Portrait Workshop: Portraits at Stevens-Coolidge with Natural Light (or Flash!)
2023-09-30 15:00 - 18:30
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will be working in natural light and flash! We will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition through the aid of diffusers and reflectors. We will then separately demonstrate reasons to add in flash.
Hunt’s Photo Educator (and strobe specialist) Paul Nelson will take you through the process of how to understand the full process, from naturally lighting a subject, to how to properly expose while using strobes, to how to actually use the strobes themselves!
We will begin photographing late afternoon in the sunlight (and shade) and work to sunset at the beautiful Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover. We will have a opportunity to take some wonderful portraits in a beautiful, green environment, excellent practice for senior portraits, engagement sessions and more! For gear, we will be using both Westcott (FJ80, FJ200, FJ400) and Godox (AD200) strobes/flashes as well as Westcott diffusers, both of which are excellent brands for creating stunning portraits. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.

Hunt's Street Photography Walk: Harvard Square in the Evening
2023-09-30 17:00 - 20:00
For this workshop, we will be working on Street Photography in Harvard Square. Harvard Square, given its famous local lore, location next to Harvard University, and close proximity to Boston Massachusetts, draws many thousands of visitors per year who come to shop, eat, drink, and visit local historic and cultural sights in the square. Given the volume of people and traffic, there is a constant sense of motion and activity in Harvard Square. This walk is a terrific opportunity to work on street and candid photography, with plenty of subject matter. We will discuss managing ISO and shutter speed in low-light conditions to never miss a shot, as well as the art of blending in and going unnoticed.
We will also try to get it all right in camera! While you are welcome to shoot in RAW, we’ll also discuss the joy of shooting for the end result in JPEG! Join us for a fun walk!!
