Hunt's Photo Education

Edit to Print: Hunt's Photo, Holyoke
2019-08-14 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
How do we edit an image to make the best print possible? Which images work for print and which do not? What paper should we print on? How should we edit for each paper? In this roundtable class, we will work with your images, discuss and process them, and discuss the printing process. We ask attendees to bring in three images on a USB drive (RAW, if possible) that they may want to print. We will review the images and choose one to edit in Adobe Lightroom and then send it to print.
Attendees are also welcome to bring their laptop to work on the images during class for submission. We will gladly assist on any editing you would like to do.
Attendees will leave with one print, 12×18 in size (printed on 13×19 paper) and a bit more knowledge on the process of editing and printing, not to mention the knowledge of how to take the photograph better in the field for next time.
This is a class that you can take as many times as you’d like. Since you’re constantly working with new images, you’re always working out new challenges!
In the class, we will have a variety of paper options to choose from, including Moab Fine Art papers. (The cost of an 12×18 or 13×19 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
Come see your images, printed vibrantly in a large format!

Capture to Print, ft. Roger Williams Park Zoo
2019-08-10 10:00 - 18:00
Capture-To-Print is an intermediate workshop that focuses not only on photography, but also editing and printing! Half photo workshop, half editing and printing, we will take you through the whole process–from Capture to Print— to demonstrate what is important in the field, how to effectively process photos, and why printing is a necessity.
We all want to take excellent quality photos of wild animals in their natural habitat, but those habitats are not always easily accessible. And when in that situation, do we have the ability to make those split second decisions on what to do with our camera? Zoos are an excellent opportunity to hone those skills with the real thing. Zoos also provide different challenges, including fencing, windows, and more. If we can overcome those challenges, the result can be stunning, especially in print form!
We will begin at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island for a morning of photographing the animals, specifically emphasizing how to set in the field for the best end result, including focus, exposure, and more. At 1pm, we will break from shooting and make our way back to the classroom at our Providence location. We will reconvene at 2pm. (Attendees are encouraged to get lunch in the meantime.)
We will then transition from photographing to editing, which will include discussion of certain techniques. Attendees are encouraged to bring their computers–laptops or all-in-ones are fine (iMacs are welcome)–in order to do their own editing. Attendees should have Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop on their computer or a comparable program. We will be available to help with the processing of images during this time. Shortly after 4pm, we will view these edits, critique, and discuss them with the rest of the class while also creating 13×19″ prints.
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating a photograph. The process of printing is integral to developing one’s photographic vision.
Please note: Your ticket does not include the entrance cost to Roger Williams Park Zoo. Your ticket includes the cost of instruction at the zoo and at Hunt’s Photo Providence, as well as the print.

Approximate schedule for the day:
10am- Meet at Roger Williams Park Zoo and photograph the animals.
1pm- Break for travel and lunch
2pm- Reconvene at Hunt’s Photo, Providence. Begin editing.
4pm- Review, critique, and printing

2019-08-03 09:00 - 17:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a Personal Vision Shootout at Olde Sturbridge Village. This comprehensive walk is geared toward intermediate and advanced photographers. During the walk, we will “strengthen your photographic muscles” by challenging you to work outside of your comfort zone while also developing cohesion in the photographic work you produce.
Located an hour west of Boston, Sturbridge Village is a proud replication of an 18th century New England town. Sturbridge Village is a living history museum that features many authentic period buildings and homes to explore and enjoy. The village is also inhabited by re-enactors who provide colorful insight to life in New England during the 18th century. Sturbridge Village is a wonderful destination for a multitude of photographic opportunities as well as a glimpse into a bygone era.
Our emphasis for the weekend will be on the OSV event Redcoats and Rebels. For the weekend, Olde Sturbridge Village will be turned into a military camp from the Revolutionary Period. We will work to document the fine details of the uniforms, the camps, the personalities, and the stories of this period of history. This will a complex task, and as part of our Personal Vision Shootout, we will have a working assignment as part of our visit for the day. This will be a fun and challenging day with many unique photographic possibilities!
