Beyond the Basics- Composition in Photography, Hunt's Photo, Melrose
2018-10-02 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
After learning “the basics” of digital photography, become more comfortable in the world of digital photography by taking the next step.
Understanding composition in the field can make or break a photograph. Many photographers want to show off their creativity through their photography. The more elements of composition one builds into their repertoire, the greater the depth of options that will be available to the photographer. Beyond the Basics: Composition in Photography discusses those creative options, as well as tips on how to pull it off in the field. While our Beginner class scratches the surface of composition, our Beyond the Basics class goes over in-depth different elements of composition.
Understanding composition 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 frame your photographic vision in those situations. It is recommended as a follow-up to our Beginner Photography course.

We will then return to the village on the second day and photograph again, with an emphasis on building upon the previous day’s critique.
If you are attending this workshop and do not live locally, we would recommend staying at a nearby hotel in the Sturbridge area. The workshop cost includes instruction for both days, including the critique. It does not cover the cost of hotel or entrance to the village.

Hunt's Photo, Providence- Lighting for Headshots
2018-08-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Hunt’s Photo, Providence, 571 N. Main St, Providence, RI, 02904, 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”.
