This Walk is part of our Developing Technique Series. This series will feature an online class prior to the walk that will discuss the different techniques we will employ on the Photo Walk. These workshops are designed to explain and develop settings and concepts that we are often unable to discuss in the field, but are integral to the experience.
Walk Description
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a Photo Workshop involving the historic North End of Boston. We will have a discussion and photo walk specifically about shooting in lower light with an emphasis on night photography. This will include assistance with exposure, composition, focusing, use of tripods, and a myriad of other settings and concepts.
Boston is often referred to as a “city of neighborhoods”. One of the city’s most notable neighborhoods, and its oldest, is the North End. Beginning in the 1600s this is where immigrants to the New World entered the city for the first time, which made the North End a busy, vibrant center of activity. Today, this tightly knit area is known as “Little Italy” given the prominent Italian-American influence and population found here. Quaint eateries, fine restaurants, and historic locations are characteristics that make the North End one of Boston’s premier destinations.
This workshop is also an excellent chance to work on street photography. During the first few hours, our light will start to change, giving us some excellent opportunities at casual portraits and street scenes. As we move into more of the nighttime light, we will shift to long exposures. Join us for this very diverse photo walk!
A Guideline for Photo Walks and Workshops during the era of COVID-19
As the COVID lockdown ends and social restrictions begin to ease, we have decided to start offering our popular Hunt’s Photo Walks again.
