Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2025-11-11 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.

2025-11-12 19:00 - 20:00
Introductory Presentation Wednesday November 12th, 7pm EST (Please note change in date)
Image Review – Tuesday November 25th, 7pm EST
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we help grow your knowledge, creativity, and artistic expression with our expanded Personal Vision Series. These classes are designed to provide you time, opportunity, and guidance in shaping your creative photographic voice. We will give an overview on a specific topic in an online class session, then give you time to go into the field by yourself (or with someone else, if you choose) to complete an assignment based on that topic. We will reconvene a few days later for an online image review to discuss elements of your images.
The Personal Vision Series is a crossroads of many different ideas that we offer with Hunt’s Photo Education: Topic-based instruction/classes, Photo Walks, & Image Reviews. However, unlike a Photo Walk where we will all take a certain direction, for the “Walk” portion, you will be asked to journey out on your own to photograph. This will cause you to be the driving force of your creativity and vision!
This month’s topic is “Minimal Depth of Field”. We will have an instructional online presentation on the first date and will reconvene for our Image Review on the second date. You will have that time period in between to photograph and edit our assignment. Your personal creative voice is critical to your growth as a photographer and as an artist. Join us for to help grow that voice!

2025-11-16 10:00 - 12:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we discuss all the key elements of loading and developing film, and get you to develop a roll on your own! In this workshop, we will show you how to load film into a developing tank, discuss the elements of the chemistry involved, and other various aspects.

Please note: This class caters to black & white film developing only! We will also have a color film developing class. All film classes can be found here.
We will provide tanks, reels, chemistry, and basically anything that you need to develop your film. All you will need to have is a roll of film to develop. (Make sure that roll is black and white and NOT C-41 black and white, as that cannot be developed in black and white chemistry!)
We will also include a free scan of your film after it has been processed! Since your film will be wet at the end of the session, you will leave it to dry so it can be scanned. The digital scans will be sent directly to your email address. If you would like the negatives to be shipped to another store for pickup, we can gladly do that!

Intermediate Photography: Getting the Look in Your Photography- Hunt's Photo, Waltham
2025-11-19 18:00 - 20:00
Intermediate Photography – Getting the Look is designed to help you expand on your foundational technical knowledge while diving deeper into the creative side of photography. In this class, you’ll learn how to shape the “look” of your images by using light, shadow, color, and composition as storytelling tools. We’ll explore how creative choices influence mood, energy, and emotion—helping you capture not just what a subject looks like, but what it feels like.
In Intermediate Photography – Getting the Look, we’ll go beyond exposure and focus on crafting photographs with intention. Through hands-on exercises, we’ll explore how to use color theory, light and shadow, and compositional techniques to enhance storytelling and create photographs with mood and impact. By the end of the class, you’ll feel more confident in making creative choices that give your images their own distinct look and feel.
Taking our Beginner Photography OR Digital Photo Basics 1 and 2 classes (or equivalent experience) is recommended prior to this course.

Online: Alternative/Creative- Color Theory
2025-11-19 19:00 - 20:00
Color theory is the study of how colors work in harmony together and how they affect our feelings and viewpoints. Knowing color theory makes us a better photographer in many ways. It helps us see the world in a new way, giving us insight into subject choices and stronger compositions. Color theory also aids in the editing process, allowing us to make faster and more succinct decisions in the hue, saturation, and luminance of the tones in our images. We can use color theory to enhance the emotions and messages we hope to portray in our images.
Join us for a fun evening where Emily Hojnowski, Lead Educator at Hunt’s Photo, shares her passion for both the science and aesthetics of color! Then, you’ll put your new knowledge and inspiration into action by creating new images for an image review!
Join us, do something fun, and get creative!
