Learn to fully utilize your cameras potentials! Harness your creative power with photography!

This is one of the first classes to consider when you’re getting started with your Digital SLR or Mirrorless camera. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background, stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques.

Online: The Printed Vision- Sustainable Printing with Hahnemuhle
2021-05-04 19:00 - 21:00
Presentation: Wednesday April 21st, 7-8pm • Online!
Printed Image Review: Tuesday May 4th, 7-9pm • Online!
Recommended prerequisite:
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Class Size: Limited to 10 attendees
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
About The Printed Vision Series
The printed image shows our successes and our faults at a much higher level of detail than the digital image. To become better photographers, it helps to understand this by creating the printed image as a final product, which is the purpose behind the Printed Vision Series.
Each Printed Vision topic will meet for two sessions. In the first session, we will discuss the topic and elaborate on editing with examples. This will include discussion of exposure, dynamic range and color, but also deeper points, such as noise reduction, image sharpening and grain. In between sessions 1 and 2, attendees will independently process 1-2 images and submit them to the instructor for printing. We will print one of the two images leading into the second session and discuss some of the challenges we face in printing them.
You do not need to produce a new image for this class and can go into your archives to print, but you are welcome to go out into the field and create something new based on the topic!
This Month’s Printed Vision Session: Sustainable Printing with Hahnemuhle
One of the newer photographic lines of paper on the market is Hahnemuhle’s Natural Line, including Bamboo, Agave, and Hemp. These papers are made from a majority of these materials which require minimal maintenance, grow quickly and don’t need any pesticides, and use less water. They are thus more sustainable than the majority of papers on the market and provide a unique look at the future of digital printing.
In this session, we will discuss these papers, their advantages, and what images work best on them. Our instructional online presentation will be held on April 21st (the day before Earth Day!) from 7-8pm and we will reconvene for our Printed Image Review on Tuesday May 4th from 7-9pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and/or edit your images. In the end, you will receive a 13×19″ print on fine art paper. (Please note: The cost of a 12×18 or 13×19 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
Receiving Your Print
After the class, your print can either be mailed to you or picked up at one of our Hunt’s Photo store locations.

Online: Basic Digital Printing (Printing with Lightroom)
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:30
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
The time has come to tame digital printing! With the low price of excellent quality digital printers, what was once an elite craft is now much more manageable for the average photographer. This course briefly covers the basics questions of printing, including editing suggestions, color management tools and settings, paper styles and finishes, printing recommendations, and troubleshooting on how to avoid those nasty pitfalls that can occur along the way. Whether you use Canon, Epson or HP, the concepts in this course remain the same.
This class also focuses on printing using Lightroom specifically. Being able to print from Lightroom allows you to complete all of your tasks specifically in one rather than multiple programs. Even if you do not own or use Lightroom, the concepts within this class are fairly global and these concepts can be translated to other programs. We will also discuss printing using these other programs.
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.

Online: Tripods! Tips & Tricks!
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:30
Wednesday May 5th, 7-8:15pm EST • Online!
Recommended prerequisite: None
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Level: Basic
Want to get this class after it’s been run?– We have an online store where you can purchase all our previously run classes here: https://ebay.huntsphoto.com/buy-previous-courses/
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
What’s the deal with tripods? Often, we get questions about what is important when purchasing a tripod and why we might choose one tripod over another. Even more often, we will be on photo walks and attendees will come with tripods that just don’t “fit the bill”–in other words, they wobble, they don’t get tall enough, and their end result (the photograph) isn’t tack-sharp. Even other times, our attendees are flummoxed as to how to set up a tripod.
But no longer! This course will teach you all about tripods, including what options to look for, the varying parts of a tripod, and how to use one properly. Come join us as we get you more stable!

Class Size: Limited to 8 attendees

Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we help grow your knowledge, creativity, and artistic expression with our expanded Personal Vision Series. These classes are designed to provide you time, opportunity, and guidance in shaping your creative photographic voice. We will give an overview on a specific topic in an online class session, then give you time to go into the field by yourself (or with someone else, if you choose) to complete an assignment based on that topic. We will reconvene a few days later for an online image review to discuss elements of your images.
The Personal Vision Series is a crossroads of many different ideas that we offer with Hunt’s Photo Education: Topic-based instruction/classes, Photo Walks, & Image Reviews. However, unlike a Photo Walk where we will all take a certain direction, for the “Walk” portion, you will be asked to journey out on your own to photograph. This will cause you to be the driving force of your creativity and vision!
This week’s topic is Spring in Motion. We will have an instructional online presentation on May 6th from 7-8pm and will reconvene for our Image Review on May 13th from 7-9pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and edit our assignment.
Your personal creative voice is critical to your growth as a photographer and as an artist. Join us for to help grow that voice!

We recommend you take this class if you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera
“Bridge” cameras are also acceptable
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Size: 8 attendees
Class Description
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. And while we also offer other wonderful Beginner Photography classes to get you started, nothing is truly the same as hands-on in-the-field! It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings.
In this outdoor, hands-on class, you’ll learn all about the basics of photography. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background), stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about your camera in a fun and safe environment! Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge!
In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field…
…we will be going to Castle Island in South Boston. Jutting out into the Boston Harbor from South Boston lies the unique and beautiful Castle Island, along with one of its main attractions, the historic Fort Independence. During the summer months, the boulevard that guides you around the strip of land buzzes with activity. Fort Independence overlooks the entire area on a hilltop. With a 360-degree hillside view and panoramas onto the bay and into Boston, as well as the lively activity, Castle Island is breathtaking in the summer months. This is an excellent area to learn about photography with a variety of fine-details and interesting scenes that can lead to terrific photographs.

All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructors: Don Toothaker & Paul Nelson
Class Size: Maximum 10 attendees

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will be working in natural light and mixing it up with flash!

We will begin photographing mid-day in the sunlight (and shade) and work to sunset. We will then utilize lower light techniques and photograph during twilight for some spectacular portrait results!
For this workshop, you are welcome to bring your own flashes and light modifiers (soft boxes, etc), but you also can use what we have with us as well. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
For our meeting location, we have chosen downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts. With a variety of brick buildings and urban environments, downtown Haverhill (or any downtown area) can offer a wonderful variety of shooting environments. This workshop will help emphasize those capabilities.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2021-05-10 18:30 - 20:30, 2021-05-17 18:30 - 20:30, 2021-05-24 18:30 - 20:30
Recommended prerequisite: This class is solely on editing and processing your images in Lightroom. We recommend having understanding of how file organization in Lightroom works, so we recommend our online File Management in Lightroom course prior to taking this class.
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 limited 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!
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.
Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. 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!

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.

Online: Beyond the Basics- Low Light and Night Photography
2021-05-10 19:00 - 20:30
Recommended prerequisite:
Basic understanding of Aperture, Shutter, ISO & What Exposure is
Beginner Photography understanding
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Level: Beyond Basic
Want to get this class after it’s been run?– We have an online store where you can purchase all our previously run classes here: https://ebay.huntsphoto.com/buy-previous-courses/
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.
Night Photography requires patience and creative vision. Despite the limitations of darkness there is still great detail and color to be captured through your lenses. Low light photography is equally challenging, but requires a completely different set of techniques. This course specifically covers these two very different yet aesthetically beautiful types of photography. While our Beginner class scratches the surface of these functions, this Beyond the Basics class covers the following topics in Low-Light and Night Photography:
• Exposure, Focusing, Settings, Subject Matter, and Gear
• RAW vs. Jpeg shooting
• Aperture Priority vs. Manual
• Live View and Manual Focus
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.

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our 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!
Taking Your Flash Off the Camera
Any photographer that uses a flash will tell you: You’ll get the best results when you take it off the camera. But why? And what do you look for in your imagery? What camera and flash settings do we use? What kind of triggers do you need and how do you use them? How do you integrate your flash in an outdoor scene? How do you use it in a studio environment? How do we create dramatic lighting? How can we create soft lighting or contrasty lighting? What about diffusers and what’s a gobo?
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we answer all of these questions and more through a series of presentations, discussions, critiques, and assignments. ! Whether you’re a portrait photographer or a still life photographer, this class will help you get a mastery of lighting with your flash off the camera. This is an excellent continuation of our Speedlights 101 course.
Each week we will have a general presentation and discussion about a topic and will present an assignment. You can submit for the assignment or just watch our weekly critiques of others–it’s up to you! We will also supplement the class with additional instructional videos AND lighting diagrams (for test shots) which we will discuss in class.
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; if you plan to submit images, you should have flash triggers; a reflector will also be helpful.
Photographers should have an understanding of exposure before taking this class.
Get excited to use your flash and join us for a fun time!

Online: The Printed Vision- Printing on Fine Art Baryta Paper
2021-05-12 19:00 - 20:00, 2021-05-26 19:00 - 21:00
Presentation: Wednesday May 12th, 7-8pm • Online!
Printed Image Review: Wednesday May 26th, 7-9pm • Online!
Recommended prerequisite:
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Class Size: Limited to 10 attendees
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
About The Printed Vision Series
The printed image shows our successes and our faults at a much higher level of detail than the digital image. To become better photographers, it helps to understand this by creating the printed image as a final product, which is the purpose behind the Printed Vision Series.
Each Printed Vision topic will meet for two sessions. In the first session, we will discuss the topic and elaborate on editing with examples. This will include discussion of exposure, dynamic range and color, but also deeper points, such as noise reduction, image sharpening and grain. In between sessions 1 and 2, attendees will independently process 1-2 images and submit them to the instructor for printing. We will print one of the two images leading into the second session and discuss some of the challenges we face in printing them.
You do not need to produce a new image for this class and can go into your archives to print, but you are welcome to go out into the field and create something new based on the topic!
This Month’s Printed Vision Session: Printing on Fine Art Baryta Paper
What is Baryta paper and why are we dedicating an entire session to it? Well, if you don’t know Baryta, you really should, because not only does it offer one of the widest tonal ranges and display an incredible amount of detail and definition, but almost everything looks awesome on it!
In this session, we will discuss Baryta papers, what to look for in the editing process, and more. Our instructional online presentation will be held on May 12th from 7-8pm and we will reconvene for our Printed Image Review on Tuesday May 26th from 7-9pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and/or edit your images. In the end, you will receive a 12×18″ print on fine art Baryta paper. (Please note: The cost of a 12×18 or 13×19 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
Receiving Your Print
After the class, your print can either be mailed to you or picked up at one of our Hunt’s Photo store locations.

Recommended prerequisite:
Basic understanding of Aperture, Shutter, ISO & What Exposure is
You should have a speedlight, aka a flash that is detachable from your camera
Flash triggers are helpful, but not a necessity
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Class Size: Limited to 10-15 attendees
Class Level: Basic
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a new Multi-Session Series session. 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!
Speedlights 101 and Beyond!
This class is all about two things: Learning how to use the basics of your flash on the camera and how (and why) to take the flash off the camera.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson as we discuss how to take pictures using a speedlight, and make them look great, no matter what the situation. We will discuss photographing people, but also photographing product and flashes work. We’ll talk all about the basics, including modes, settings, and more!
Whether you own a flash and have no idea how to use it, you want to take great photos at functions and family events that are in low light, or you just want to learn how to add a flash into your repertoire, this course is for you!
In week one, we will look at the basic camera and flash settings when using the flash on the camera, including light positioning. In week two, we will get a bit more creative by adding in diffusion and reflectors. We will also work to refine flash positioning and camera settings to maximize efficiency. In week three, we will demonstrate taking the flash off-camera and show some of the benefits of doing that. In week four, we will tie together the whole process, including how to properly edit photos.
Each week we will have a general presentation and discussion about a topic and will present an assignment. You can submit for the assignment or just watch our weekly critiques of others–it’s up to you! We will also supplement the class with additional instructional videos.
You don’t need to know the inner workings of your flash to take this class! Photographers of all levels should apply, even those at a basic level, as we will cascade the learning process. You should have a speedlight, aka a flash that is detachable from your camera. Flash triggers can be helpful. A reflector may also be helpful. Note: This is not a class about the on-board flash on your camera. In general, we never recommend using the on-board flash (unless you absolutely have to).
Photographers should have an understanding of their camera and general exposure before taking this class.
Registering and what is needed

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.

In this class, Cameron will explain how to create a thoughtful image that tells a bird’s story. He will share descriptions and image examples highlighting various techniques for becoming a more creative bird photographer.

He lives outside of Washington, D.C., and will be attending Williams College in the fall of 2021.
