Hunt's Portrait Workshop- Natural Light Series- Decay- Ft. Warren, Boston
2019-07-27 09:00 - 18:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our summer series of natural light portrait workshops, featuring Rural, Urban, & Decay. On these workshops, we will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition through the aid of diffusers and reflectors. We will also discuss Subject Development, Exposure, Black and White Photography, and more. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
The emphasis of each workshop date will differ slightly.
For our “Decay” portrait workshop, we will be photographing with the background of Ft. Warren on George’s Island. Ft. Warren is an old Civil War fort in Boston Harbor. 200+ years of weathering give us a terrific background of stone decay, and make an excellent background for portraits. We will discuss more thoroughly the use of black & white photography, of excellent use in this environment.
In each of these environments, we will be looking for very different looks in our portraits. We will have 1 instructor and 1 model for every 3-4 attendees. Depending on your level of experience, we will assist in all levels, from basic camera settings to finding and utilizing good light to working with (posing/directing) models.
Each of these workshops will be a unique experience.
To sign up for Natural Light Portraits: Decay- Ft. Warren, Boston, on July 27th…

Hunt's Photo Workshop: Action & Sports- Myopia Polo
2019-07-28 09:00 - 18:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for an action packed photography workshop! On this walk, we will be giving instruction and photographing the fast-paced sport of Polo at the Myopia Polo Grounds in South Hamilton!
We will begin at our classroom at Hunt’s Photo & Video in Melrose, Massachusetts where we will show images from previous years of photography at Myopia and discuss different techniques of photographing action, including how to compose and expose, choose your focus properly, and stop and pan action. After this, we will break for lunch (not included) and regroup at the Myopia Polo Grounds in South Hamilton (about a 35-minute drive from our store). Leading up to the match on the grounds, we will prep by going over the layout of the field and the day, and also photograph some of the lifestyle of the event, including the prominent and often posh tailgating! The match will last from about 3pm until about 5:30pm, with a traditional “fox hunt” as an intermission. (Don’t worry- no foxes will be harmed!) The action, detail, and energy is fantastic!
For this workshop, we will have both classroom AND hands-on instruction from Hunt’s Photo Educators.
For this event, we will have available Tamron long telephoto lenses for use with Nikon and Canon, as well as selected long-telephoto lenses for use with Olympus, Sony, Fuji, and Panasonic.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Piers Park, East Boston
2019-08-02 19:00 - 22:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk at Piers Park in East Boston. During the walk, we will discuss 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!
Much of East Boston consists of dense residential neighborhoods, in part as a carryover from the area’s heavy influx of immigration at the turn of the previous century, and in part to its proximity to downtown Boston. Piers Park was developed in the mid-1990s as a contrast to this, offering beautiful landscaping, natural vegetation, and stunning views of downtown Boston. On this walk, we will photograph the grounds of Piers Park and the skyline during blue hour, sunset, and civil twilight. Photographers of all levels are welcome!

Personal Vision Shootout: Redcoats & Rebels at Olde Sturbridge Village
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!

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

Edit to Print: Hunt's Photo, Holyoke
2019-08-14 18:00 - 20:00
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!

2019-08-22 15:00 - 2019-08-25 11:00
Black and white photography is not only alive and well in the digital age, but it is better than ever before. Personal growth in photography is rooted in the fundamentals of exposure and composition and no genre teaches you more about each than working in monochrome. Boston is a vibrant, photogenic city full of tones, textures, and details that lend themselves very well to seeing, thinking, and creating in black and white. During the weekend we will seek out, discuss, and demonstrate characteristics that make for strong black and white images. While photographing a variety of scenarios emphasis will be placed on cultivating subject development, strong compositions, and using light and shadow.

Hunt's Photo Walk: The North End at Night
2019-08-30 18:00 - 22:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk in the historic North End of Boston. During the walk, we will discuss 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 walk 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!

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

Rockport is a premiere destination for photographers. The town is an eclectic mix of unique storefronts, a beautiful harbor, boats, and a rich fishing tradition that offers a wide variety of photographic subjects.
This walk is an excellent opportunity both for those just starting out as well as the well-seasoned photographer. For those starting out, there are many excellent opportunities to work on composition and subject development, and also see how the light changes and affects your photographs throughout the evening. For the well-seasoned photographer, Rockport has just so much of interest to offer that you can work on creating more complex compositions and other advanced themes in your work. This is truly one of the best places at any level to photograph.

2019-09-08 - 2019-09-16
It is a place like no other on earth, an incredibly beautiful land of mountain and sea, where pastel buildings tumble down the hillsides and little beaches rim stunning aquamarine Mediterranean water. It is as magical as it is majestic. For many, it’s the most beautiful place in Italy.
Hunt’s Photo and Don Toothaker join guest instructor Laura L. Gingerich on this photography workshop to Italy’s Amalfi Coast. We plan to challenge you to slow down, think, observe, anticipate and feel each and every shot. Our days will be full of photographic opportunities, instruction and discussion as we experience this historic area, full of wonderful scenic opportunities and exquisite foods.
Please note that this workshop is being coordinated by our travel agency. Because of this, please note that registration and payment are handled by the agency. Registration and more detailed itinerary information for this trip can be found here.

Hunt's Photo Workshop: Using On-Camera Filters, ft. Portland Head Light
2019-09-14 11:00 - 19:00
In the age of film photography, filters were used to great effect. Because darkrooms were less accessible for editing (than editing in the digital age), filters were used to “get it right in camera”. Despite all the editing programs available today, it is still best to “get it right in camera”, and certain filters still produce vastly superior effects that cannot be achieved by post-processing alone.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Rick Berk for a hands-on photography workshop designed to help attendees create better images by utilizing long-exposure. We will start with a classroom session explaining the different filter types and their uses, as well as examples of when and why to use them. Circular Polarizers, Neutral Density Filters, and ND Graduated Filters will all be covered. At about 2pm we will break and reconvene at Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth at 3:30pm to put into practice the filters and techniques. We will conclude the walk around 7pm.
We will have some Benro Neutral Density and Circular Polarizing filters on-hand for attendees to use in order to test the techniques discussed in the class. If attendees are interested in purchasing filters to use during the event, we will be offering a discount on them the day of the workshop.

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. However, be advised we will be meeting at Hunt’s Photo, South Portland at the time listed. We will be traveling separately to Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth. We will not need to return to South Portland and will conclude the workshop around 7pm in Cape Elizabeth. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Hunt's Portrait Workshop: Portraits at Horn Pond Using Natural Light & Flash!
2019-09-14 13:00 - 19:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we continue our portrait workshop sessions by mixing natural light and flash! On these workshops, we will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition through the aid of diffusers and reflectors, but then explain when and why to utilize flash, and how we can achieve extraordinary results with a little bit of knowledge! Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
On this workshop, we will utilize the beautifully underrated Horn Pond in Woburn, MA. Horn Pond is a 102-acre body of water that has a little bit of everything to offer the photographer from wildlife to flowers to beautiful sunsets and more! This is also an excellent and diverse area to photograph portraits, from engagement sessions to senior portraits, and even fashion. Areas of the pond are fully covered, other areas have dappled light, and still others have harsh, direct sun, but excellent backgrounds! We will begin this workshop basic and make our way up, going to different areas to get different effects.
We will also integrate in a number of techniques with flash. You do not need to own a flash for this workshop, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to own one and have an interest in using it! We will integrate in a little bit of flash and end utilizing High Speed Sync (or similar techniques) in our last hour of shooting.
For anyone interested in improving working with subjects in natural light situations as well as dabbling in outdoor flash, this workshop is an excellent opportunity!
You may bring your own gear, including reflectors and speedlights, but we will begin with gear that anyone can use, including:
-Basic reflectors
-A Variety of brands of Speedlights
-Phottix & Pocket Wizard Triggers
-Westcott & Phottix Softboxes
-Rogue Flashbender products
What to bring:
-Camera with fully charged battery
-Memory cards
-For lenses, consider bringing lenses between 50mm and 100mm. Prime lenses with low apertures are a great option, but zoom lenses that fit this range will also work fine.
