Hunt's Photo Adventure: Cuba- Real & Raw
2018-12-02 - 2018-12-11
Simply put, Cuba is like no other place on earth. The spellbinding history from the early Carribean-Spanish explorers to the mid- twentieth century reads like a legendary novel. Life for the Cuban people changed dramatically in the 1960’s. It’s as if the country was placed in a time capsule for fifty years and suddenly emerged, opening the doors to all who wish to explore. One can certainly feel the complexities of Cuba’s history and the strength of those who call it their home. The music makes you dance and the arts convey the struggles and triumphs. The ranchers are as rugged as the untouched land and the cigars are worth the trip alone. Cuba is absolutely fascinating.
Hunt’s Photo and Don Toothaker want to welcome guest instructor Laura L. Gingerich to this photography workshop. 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 a very unique look into the heart and soul of Cuba.
***Our Cuba Adventure for December is officially sold out! However, we have future trips there that can be found at this link!***

Capture to Print featuring Newburyport at Night
2018-11-09 15:30 - 2018-11-10 13:00
Printing your photos will make you a better photographer. The first step to creating a great print is by understanding how to create a great photograph in the field.
Capture-To-Print is an intermediate workshop that focuses not only on photography, but also editing and printing! Half photo walk, 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.
For our third Capture to Print Workshop, we will begin by photographing scenes at sunset and blue hour in downtown Newburyport, then continue around the vicinity for night photography. We will follow it up the next day with a processing and image review session, along with the creation of a print for every attendee (13″x 19″) at Hunt’s Photo, Melrose.
The process of printing is extremely important to developing one’s photographic vision. Even the best quality of monitors are significantly lacking in the fine detail that prints can provide, and prints do not hide your mistakes! Our image review will also help us all understand what it is that we “saw” in the field, and our instructors will help you edit using Lightroom techniques, including basic adjustments, color adjustments, black and white processing, image sharpening, and more!

Hunt's Photo Walk: Hancock Shaker Village

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk at the historic Canterbury Shaker Village. During the walk, we will discuss subject development, image composition, black and white, and architectural photography. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
Shakers were a religious group formed in England in the 1700s from a variety of religions, including English Quakers and Methodists. (Shakers were named based on their ecstatic dance, initially known as “Shaking Quakers”.) Shaker communities sprouted throughout Northeastern Colonial America, eventually heading westward. Due to the celibate nature of the communities, the Shaker communities dwindled into the 20th century, including the Hancock Shaker Village, which was closed by the Shakers in the early 1960s.
Opened in 1961, the Hancock Shaker Village preserves the heritage of the Hancock Shaker Community from the past two centuries. The settlement is complete with 20 Shaker buildings, a working farm and significant collections of Shaker furniture and artifacts.
On this walk, we will photograph the living spaces of this historic sect’s wholly simple (and simply holy) lives. We will attempt to tell the story of the Shakers through what they left behind. This will include an emphasis on Composition and discussing Black & White, architecture, and close-up photography. Come photograph a fascinating historical lifestyle!

We’ll explore the many opportunities this location offers, and then head another few miles west to Cape Elizabeth to capture the sunset at Portland Head Lighthouse. Portland Head is located on the grounds of Fort Williams Park, an old military fort dating back to the Spanish American War.

Lighting for Headshots- Hunt's Photo, Melrose
2018-10-24 18:00 - 20:00 | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
The saying “It’s all about the light”, could not be truer for photography. If you have great light, there is a good chance of a great image. But what is great light, how to make the best of the available light, and what if you could have absolute control over the light?
Join us for a survey course in lighting, with an emphasis on lighting for headshots. Discussed will be Quality of Light, how to recognize it, and how to control and modify it. We’ll start with available light, how to control it with reflectors, and how to augment it with camera flash.
Then we will discuss how to take complete control of the lighting with studio grade lighting. Revisiting Quality of Light, discussing the size of the light, the direction of the light, and the color of the light, several multiple light setups will be demonstrated. Starting with one light, then adding a second, then third, to achieve just the look you want.
The beauty of using studio flash is once you find the look or looks you like, they are repeatable. Instead of worrying about lighting you can concentrate on posing and expressions. So, the next time a portrait opportunity comes along requiring studio lighting, instead of declining saying “I’m an available light photographer”, say “Great, lets schedule a date”.

The Topsfield Fair is one of America’s oldest agricultural fairs, dating back to the early 1800s when the fair consisted of a showing of livestock and agricultural equipment. It now has become an New England institution, bringing in nearly half a million visitors every year over the 11-day run.
During our time here, we will tell the story of the Topsfield Fair as each person sees it. Through independent work, photographers will develop individual concepts and look at what catches their eye and imagination. Each photographer will create images to go along with those concepts and tell the story of the Topsfield Fair as each person sees, hears, smells, and feels it. The end result of this shootout will be a “photo story” of the Topsfield Fair.

Beyond the Basics: Composition in Photography discusses those creative options, as well as tips on how to pull it off in the field.
