Online: Color Theory with Joseph Roybal
2020-06-27 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Have you ever wondered what makes certain photographs pop and are full of vibrancy and life while others just seem to be a challenge to get to work right? In this discussion, Joseph will go over his philosophies on Color Harmony and Theory addressing these points in several of his images and how this all starts in the field when capturing a photograph. Joseph will discuss a bit of his workflow in the field when looking at a scene assessing its potential analyzing which focal points are catching his eye then and how he brings these to life later in post-processing via color and light. Joseph will also discuss how the natural colors that were there during capture are your best starting point and how to get these to work in harmony later in post.
About Joseph: Joseph Roybal is a full-time professional landscape and travel photographer based in Denver, Colorado specializing in landscape imagery from around the globe. His passion lies simply in being immersed in the outdoors; searching for dramatic light and mood within the frame. Joseph has traveled the globe in search of stunning vistas and scenes with the ambitions of taking the viewers of his work on a visual journey to these locations and evoking the feeling as if they are standing in the scene in person. Joseph is partnered with several leading photographic companies in the industry and is also a Breakthrough Photography Team Pro. In his logo, Joseph utilizes the tagline “Explore.Learn.Share” as it is these three main components to his philosophy as a photographer that inspire him each and every day. He loves to take everything he has learned while being in the field and share this knowledge later; instructing post-processing courses and doing private and group photography workshops and tours around the globe.

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Are you tired of your photos being too bright or too dark? Maybe your photos look good on the back of your camera, but when you view them on your computer you realize your exposure was way off! Are you ready to understand what the histogram is and how to use it to take better pictures? Join Emily Hojnowski of Hunt’s Photo Education as we cover the ins and outs of histograms in photography. We’ll discuss how to read a histogram and use histograms in the field to achieve our best exposures. We’ll cover why histograms are so important and how we can use them to maximize our camera’s dynamic range. Emily will also show you sample images with histograms so we can finally answer the question: What does a perfect histogram look like? The answer may surprise you!
Overview of topics:
•What is a histogram?
•How to use the histogram to take better photos – Viewing histograms in Review mode, turning histograms on in live view
•How to read a histogram
•Why histograms are so important – dynamic range

Online: Image Review/Critique- Emphasis on Composition
2020-07-01 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 with an emphasis on composition. The statement “They have an eye for photography” is very common to hear, and it means that all points lead to great composition. Focal length, camera settings, foreground/background elements, and of course subject positioning are all integral to having a successful composition. In this image review/critique, we will focus (pun intended) on looking at your image composition. You are welcome to edit the image you submit or leave it unedited. However, 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. If you cannot save the file in either formats, 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

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- Food Photography
2020-07-02 19:00 - 20:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
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!
Food Photography
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we discuss everything you need to get started with food photography including gear, props, and shooting techniques in our new Multi-Session Series!
For this course, we’ll start with composition in the first week, discussing the core compositional principles, choosing the right food and mood for a shoot, and which angle is best for your subject.
In week two, we’ll move past natural light and begin controlling and shaping artificial light. We’ll discuss size, quality, and direction of light as well as the best light modifiers to achieve that natural light look even at night! Color is a key element of food photography and we’ll cover everything from color psychology to perfecting white balance.
By the third week, we’ll be working on styling our scenes with various props, backgrounds, and ingredients. Emily will show you the how and the why as we work through advanced compositional techniques. We’ll talk gear and how you don’t need to spend a fortune or have a lot of space to be a successful food photographer.
In our final week, we’ll tie everything together and sharpen each student’s individual food style. We’ll discuss how to bring out the best of our food while telling a story and examine how foods can evoke emotional responses from our viewers.
Each week you’ll have a new assignment that will build a diverse portfolio of food photography. Along the way, you’ll be able to ask Emily questions and receive weekly individual, personalized critiques and feedbacks from your assignment images. Emily will also be giving you editing tutorials using Adobe Lightroom Classic so we can put the final touches on our images.
Photographers should have an understanding of exposure before taking this class.
Week 1: Composition
Week 2: Light & Color
Week 3: Styling
Week 4: Storytelling

Online: Photographing Pets
2020-07-09 19:00 - 20:15
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! 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.
Pets are loving, dedicated, and unique souls that make us smile after our long days at work, encourage us to get up on cold winter mornings, and stay embedded in our minds throughout our lives. Because of this, very few things melt the heart like a great photo of a pet, and photographing these loving companions can be a challenging endeavor.
Join dog owner Emily Hojnowski as she covers the best practices for taking better photographs of pets that will help you capture them at rest or in action.
This class will discuss both techniques on how to work with your camera as well as how to work with your dog. Among other things, we will discuss elements of:
•Composition
•Exposure for the best brightness level of your subject
•Focusing techniques in order to get your subject sharp
•How to read animal behavior
•How to appropriately use positive reinforcement training with your model

Online: Photoshop Mini-Sessions- Adding Textures to Photos
2020-07-20 11:00 - 12:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
One of the most fun and creative ways to utilize Adobe Photoshop (as opposed to many other editing programs, including Lightroom) is through using multiple layers. Adding textures to photographs or areas of a photograph are an excellent opportunity to add character, depth, and a uniqueness to an image!
In this class, we will demonstrate and work with images in a step-by-step process to take a photo from Lightroom (or anywhere on your computer), import into Photoshop, add a texture, and then save the file.
This class will specifically cover…
•Layers
•Masking
•Blend modes
The tools we utilize here don’t need to end with just textures. The concepts we will cover in the class can also be applied to other areas–changing the opacity of a layer or image, creating masks which allow you to change one specific area of a photo, and more. If you have an interest in learning more about Photoshop, this is an excellent opportunity!

Online: Beyond the Basics- Understanding Manual Exposure
2020-07-21 19:00 - 20:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
After learning “the basics” of digital photography, become more comfortable in the world of digital photography by taking the next step.
For some photographers, there is only the manual mode. But why is it important to shoot in the Manual mode? Are there reasons to use manual vs. Aperture priority and vice-versa? How can we maximize usability?
While our Beginner class scratches the surface of these functions, our Beyond the Basics class goes over in-depth:
-Your Camera’s Light Meter and how it works
-Use of Aperture Priority vs. Manual modes
-Histograms
-Photographing in RAW vs. Jpeg
Understanding the full-functionality of your camera is a necessity to improving your flexibility when photographing in a variety of situations. This course is designed to help you feel more comfortable about how to change your camera’s settings in those situations. It is recommended as a follow-up to our Beginner Photography course.
