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 10-15 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!
Landscape Photography
Landscape photography is one of the most easily accessible genres of photography and is enjoyed by many. What does it take to create a landscape image that stands out? Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we go beyond “F8 and be there” and dive deep into the technical, artistic, and practical aspects of landscape photography.
In week one, we’ll cover what it takes to plan and the settings necessary for your best shots. We’ll also talk about the gear all landscape photographers should have in their bags and what to do when the weather just won’t cooperate. In week two, we’ll edit landscape images from start to finish using Adobe Lightroom Classic. By week three, we’ll discuss composition, dynamic range, depth of field, and focus. We’ll also discuss when to shoot in color and when to shoot in black and white. In our last week, we’ll cover shooting and editing HDR images and panorama images in Adobe Lightroom Classic. We’ll also cover shooting landscapes at night as well as astrolandscapes. Each week, Emily will give an assignment to hone your new skills and each student will receive individualized critiques. Emily is also available to answer any questions along the way.
Join us for this fun and unique multi-session series that will help you develop your skills with landscapes!

Hunt's Photo Walk: Emerging Series- Olde Sturbridge Village
2020-08-15 10:00 - 16:00
This Walk is part of our Emerging Series, as we cautiously begin to emerge from the COVID-19 lockdown. For this series of walks, we have chosen areas that are more spread out and with less foot traffic. We will also be limiting our group size to a maximum of 8 attendees with one instructor. After the course description (but before registration) will be guidelines for these walks. Please make sure to read them prior to registering.
Walk Description
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.
Olde Sturbridge Village is perhaps one of the best places to have both a Photo Walk and a class. There’s a little bit of everything at this living history museum, from macro and closeup with fine details to architecture, from portraits to landscapes. We will photograph both indoors and outdoors, in regular light as well as very low light. We will discuss how to work with subjects to create a story, and also work on settings to fine-tune focus and exposure! This Photo Walk is one of the best opportunities to build your photographic knowledge, no matter what level. This walk is equally as beneficial as a first walk or a twentieth walk, as the area has so much to offer! Join us for a great experience!
During the era of COVID, all actors will be wearing masks.
Please note: The cost of your ticket does not include entrance to Sturbridge Village. COVID policies require that all tickets must be purchased online prior to arriving at the village. You can purchase tickets up to two weeks in advance here.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic

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. 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. Make sure to save this information. We will also send a reminder email about 24 hours prior to the class time with that same information.

Online: Image Review/Critique- Cityscapes
2020-08-18 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image. Our Hunt’s Photo Education Team firmly believes that presenting personal work and observing peer work is paramount to the growth and development of your photographic vision.
This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an image for review or critique of a cityscape. This can be a photograph of a cityscape at night, in the morning, or during the day. During the review and critique, we will discuss image composition, exposure, focus, and all the settings associated with the image. You are welcome to edit the image you submit or leave it unedited.
If you are editing exporting from Lightroom or Capture One, we ask that you export the image as a DNG, or save the RAW file with a XMP sidecar file so that we can reedit the image, if need be. (If you’re unsure what a DNG file is, watch this short video about exporting as DNG. And if you cannot save the file in either formats and choose to submit an edited photo, please submit an edited and unedited version so we can reedit, if need be.)
We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review. We will also send out a reminder email a few days prior. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to upload your photo!
Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your photographic work with the community!
Regarding uploading of images
For this critique, we ask that you export a DNG from Lightroom/Capture One or save as the original RAW with the XMP sidecar file. DNG is a RAW format that also embeds in all the changes you have made previously to the image! Since it’s RAW, we can still make “lossless” changes to the DNG file, so that’s very helpful. We’ve made a short video about how to do it that you can watch here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll87ah4kapx0zul/exporting-to-dng.mp4?dl=0
Registering and what is needed
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.

Layout of the class
Our course layout is simple. This course will last about 2 hours, depending on quantity of attendees. During that time, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.
During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Portraits- Natural & Flash
2020-08-19 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-08-26 19:00 - 20:30
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.

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 10-15 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!
Portraits- Natural & Flash
As we close out the summer months, we begin to enter the season of Senior Portraits, engagement sessions, and even holiday family portraits. Portrait photographers keep themselves busy utilizing the warm weather and long days, but what are the important elements to understand about portraits? What is “good” light? (When) Should I use a flash? What are some standards of editing portraits in Lightroom, Capture One, or Photoshop?
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we continue our Multi-Session Series into the realm of portraits! In Portraits- Natural Light and Flash, we will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition, with the aid of diffusers and reflectors, but then explain when, where, and why to utilize flash, and how we can achieve extraordinary results with a little bit of knowledge!
In week one, we will discuss “Looking for the Light”, where we will consider a variety of possibilities and how to consider where to place your subject and how to light them naturally using reflectors and diffusers. In week two, we will discuss basic editing techniques in Adobe Lightroom and Capture One, including exposure, color editing, and skin softening. In week three, we will add in the element of flash and discuss how the addition of flash can benefit certain scenarios. In week four, we will shift to Adobe Photoshop and discuss additional benefits of using that software for editing, such as advanced skin softening and color editing techniques and finishing effects.
Each week you’ll have a new assignment that will help build your portfolio of portrait images. Along the way, you’ll be able to ask Paul and Alex questions and receive weekly individual, personalized critiques and feedbacks from your assignment images.
You don’t need to be a professional to take this course, or even know advanced concepts of Photoshop, nor the inner workings of your flash. Photographers of all levels should apply, as we will cascade the learning process. We do recommend having either Adobe Lightroom or Capture One editing software, as well as Adobe Photoshop; a reflector will be helpful; if you have a flash and remote triggers for your flash, they will also be helpful.
Photographers should have an understanding of exposure before taking this class.

Online: Special Guest Series- Dragging the Shutter with Bobbi Lane
2020-08-20 14:00 - 15:30
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
This presentation explores all the various techniques of “Dragging the shutter” or balancing light the exposure of strobe and ambient light sources in one photo. For example: taking a photo of someone outside at night by using a portable flash and also capturing the city lights in the background. There is quite a lot to know about this technique because it involves color balance as well as exposure balance. Bobbi explains how to get the proper balance of exposure between the two light sources-flash and ambient- then how to creatively play by shaking or spinning the camera, zooming the lens, panning and more. The flash will light the subject and freeze any motion, and then moving the camera will blur the background in a variety of ways. This technique can be used for people or cars at twilight, product shots, flowers outside, etc. It’s a creative and fun way to make your photos more dynamic and effective!
About Bobbi Lane: Bobbi Lane, a Fujifilm “X” Photographer and Profoto educator, is an award-winning commercial photographer specializing in creative portraits on location and in the studio. Lane’s multi-faceted approach to photography incorporates over 40 years of technical experience with innovative artistic interpretation. Her corporate and editorial work includes corporate websites, annual reports and hundreds of environmental portraits for a wide variety of magazines. As a dedicated photo educator, she brings insight and enthusiasm to her students in workshops held worldwide. She is widely known as the “Mistress of Light”, teaching portrait lighting techniques with both natural and artificial light. Combining her love of travel, photography and teaching, Bobbi also leads international photo travel workshops such as Venice Carnival, Tanzania, and Iceland. Her dynamic workshops are always both education and entertaining!

Online: Special Guest Series- All Things Music Photography with Adam Elmakias
2020-08-21 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.

Do you want to learn the secrets of concert photography? You’ve come to the right place. What’s up. Adam Elmakias here. I am a music photographer based out of Los Angeles, California. I have spent over half my life convincing people I am a music photographer, and shooting for another 15 years. I am here to teach you what I know, how I know it, and how you can know it too. The music industry is the Wild West of the photography industry. It’s a bunch of social skills combined with learning how to be a photographer along the way. Come hang out, I’ll teach you how I approach the industry and how I believe you should as well. All of our lives are different and that is an important thing to recognize when it comes to music photography. So, while concerts are on pause, let’s learn some new information. Because once they are back – people are going to want to see some photos of them.
About Adam Elmakias: Adam Elmakias is a worldwide music photographer and Sigma Ambassador, traveling with bands and photographing them on and off stage. Originally from Wisconsin, Adam spent most of his teenage years going to concerts and taking photos from the crowd. Through a mix of networking (and what some would argue is borderline harassment), he eventually wiggled himself on tour with a few bands. Fast forward 12 years, and Adam has spent more time on the road than in his living room!

Online: Special Guest Series- Virtual Portraits, Lighting, and Wireless Tethering with Walter van Dusen
2020-08-25 12:00 - 13:00
Please join Massachusetts based Photographer Walter van Dusen, M.Photog.Cr., CPP as he demonstrates the relevance of continuous lighting, mirrorless cameras and why he captures wirelessly to his computer. Walter will share his complete lighting system showing you how to set up the lights and adjust them for each subject. The workshop begins with sharing which lights he selects for his on-location portraiture, which mirrorless camera he uses and why, then live capture of several portraits followed by answering your questions. Walter is very high energy and will pack a lot of content into this one-hour, virtual, hands-on workshop.
About Walter: Photography has been a passion of Walter’s since high school. While stationed onboard a fast attack submarine, he graduated from periscope photography school at the top of his class. Fortunate to visit many countries, his camera is always on his person. Walter’s daughter, Hannah, was born in 1996 and, of course, he became a “Dad with a camera”. In 1997, Walter realized he wanted to pursue his dream of becoming a professional photographer. It was then that Walter began attending photography school, workshops, seminars, mentoring sessions, and assisted other photographers to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible. He fell in love with portraiture early in his professional career, continues to educate himself and strives to perfect his craft every day. Walter has set a goal for himself: go beyond flat light and add more dimension to each portrait. Achieving this goal results in a confident and powerful portrayal of each subject.
Walter is a Four-Time Winner of Connecticut Photographer of the Year, two-time Connecticut and New England Best in Show Wedding Album, has multiple Professional Photographers of America Loan Collection Prints, the recipient of five Connecticut and New England Court of Honor Awards, the recipient of 6 Kodak Gallery Award Wedding Images, was awarded two Fuji Masterpieces for Prints awards and most recently earned second-highest print case at the Massachusetts Professional Photographers Annual Convention along with several awards. Walter is also the founder of Mystic Seminars, an annual photography conference held from 2005 through 2019. Walter is now pursuing his portrait and corporate headshot photography in the Boston area along with teaching about lighting and workflow.

Online: Beyond the Basics: Filters- When, How, and Why to Use Them
2020-08-26 19:00 - 20:30
In response to COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC of social distancing, Hunt’s Photo Education is presenting our new series of online classes! (Hey! We wanted to do it anyway, this just sped up the process!) These courses will be shorter (about 1 hour), online versions of many classes that we currently offer, plus a few new ones, and include Q&A at the end.
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.

Using filters is a time-honored practice in photography. While many filters from the days of film are no longer relevant, there are many effects that are unachievable without the use of filters, even in the modern digital age! And these effects produce some of the most stunning results!
During this seminar class, we will discuss the different types of filters available for creative photography. We will also go over when and why you should use them and review how to use them. We will cover polarizing filters, neutral density filters, soft and hard-edge graduated filters, close-up filters and more! We will demonstrate with these varieties of filters, with ND and Polarizing filters courtesy of Benro filters.
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that you have signed up. About 24 hours prior to the class time, we will send out an email with the weblink for you to follow as well as information on how to access the class online. (It’s pretty easy, but we’ll walk you through it in a quick online video!)
Layout of the class

He will show examples of the photos he’s captured and talk about what he did to make them successful. He’ll discuss important concepts such as lighting, composition, proper head and body angles, backgrounds, time of day and many other aspects to improve your captures. Russ loves to share his passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge with all.
About Russ: Russ Burden is the owner of Russ Burden Nature Photography Safaris. He runs wildlife safaris to Tanzania three times a year. He is internationally published and his commercial work is marketed through Getty Images.

2020-09-02 18:00 - 20:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
What is Color Management? Why is it important to shoot RAW? Why (and How) do I need to calibrate my monitor? Why do images look different on different computers or devices?
If you want to know the answers to any of these questions, we implore you to join us for our Intro to Color Management class, where we will discuss the importance of all elements of color. We will discuss, among other points:
•A brief workflow of how to get the most accurate color, from camera to print
•The importance of monitor calibration, including a live demo using Xrite i1 (Datacolor’s Spyder software is very similar, and if you use it, the differences here are minor)
•The differences in color spaces and monitors
•How to use the Xrite Colorchecker (and similar reference targets)
Color management is an essential part of photography. Join us as we demystify the workflow!

Hunt's Photo Walk: Emerging Series- The North End in Black & White
2020-09-03 16:30 - 20:30
Walk Description
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 black and white 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!

Hunt’s Photo Education remains dedicated to the health and safety of every single attendee, student, and customer, first and foremost. We also are committed to the best possible learning experience. We have put forth rules and guidelines for Photo Walks that occur during the era of COVID.

•Hunt’s Photo Educators will be unable to physically handle others’ cameras
•Consider bringing sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer
•If you are sick or feeling unwell, stay home! We will gladly give you credit towards a future walk!

Online: Image Review/Critique- Food Photography
2020-09-03 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image. Our Hunt’s Photo Education Team firmly believes that presenting personal work and observing peer work is paramount to the growth and development of your photographic vision.
This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an image for review or critique of food! Photographing food is a challenging endeavor that requires a knowledge of photography, of food, and the patience to not snack on what you’re photographing! During the review and critique, we will discuss numerous topics, such as image composition, exposure, focus, and all the settings associated with the image. Is the food appetizing or not? (Is it supposed to be?) Are color and exposure correct? We will figure all of this out during the class! You are welcome to edit the image you submit or leave it unedited.
If you are editing exporting from Lightroom or Capture One, we ask that you export the image as a DNG, or save the RAW file with a XMP sidecar file so that we can reedit the image, if need be. (If you’re unsure what a DNG file is, watch this short video about exporting as DNG. And if you cannot save the file in either formats and choose to submit an edited photo, please submit an edited and unedited version so we can reedit, if need be.)
We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review. We will also send out a reminder email a few days prior. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to upload your photo!
Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your photographic work with the community!
Regarding uploading of images
For this critique, we ask that you export a DNG from Lightroom/Capture One or save as the original RAW with the XMP sidecar file. DNG is a RAW format that also embeds in all the changes you have made previously to the image! Since it’s RAW, we can still make “lossless” changes to the DNG file, so that’s very helpful. We’ve made a short video about how to do it that you can watch here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll87ah4kapx0zul/exporting-to-dng.mp4?dl=0
Registering and what is needed
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. Make sure to save this information. We will also send a reminder email about 24 hours prior to the class time with that same information.
Layout of the class
Our course layout is simple. This course will last about 2 hours, depending on quantity of attendees. During that time, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.
During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.
“You Are Being Recorded” (And Other Note Related Items)
We will be recording this class! The video will be available for download about 24-hours after the class for all attendees, so don’t worry about taking unending notes. We will send this link attendees to download and rewatch at any time. In addition to this, we will generally send out a PDF of the presentation (when applicable) and handouts on the topic. If handouts and PDFs are included, we will send it out with the link for the video.
Can’t attend the class?
If you can’t attend the class but still want to download the video, no problem: Just sign up for the class! You don’t need to attend and we will send the video and PDF link the next day!
Want to get this class after it’s been run?
If you want to purchase this or any other of the classes we have done, you can certainly do so. Just send us an email at classes@huntsphoto.com and we can send you the invoice. (We prefer having folks in our classes, but this option is available as well if you want to see it!)

We recommend having both a standard zoom lens and telephoto zoom lens, preferably one that will go to 200mm or above.
