This workshop is for collectors, crafters, sellers or anyone interested in still life photography.  In today's online selling world, the quality of the image goes a long way towards getting your post noticed. 

 

We will cover topics such as simple lighting, staging, and camera set-up.  The great news is that none of this needs to be expensive.  With a few simple tools, anyone can create interesting photos.  In fact, the teapot photo shown here was lit using a pen light flashlight.

​

This is a hands on workshop.  Everyone attending will get to work with the techniques demonstrated by Don.  During that time, Don will be available to assist and answer any questions that you might have.

During this class, Don will provide you with the tools necessary to return from your trip with a collection of photos that truly reflect your travel experience.  This happens when our photos help to tell a story as opposed to being a set of unrelated "snapshots."

​

We will cover the following topics:

• Putting together a photo list

• Building a plan that will put you in the right place at the right time, and work around family and other commitments

• Tips for camera techniques, composition, and editing

• Protecting yourself and your equipment

• Building a slideshow

​

The format for this class is a lecture followed by a photo shoot.  As part of the class you will build a mini photo plan that you will follow when we are out shooting.  During the photo shoot, Don will be available to assist and answer any questions that you might have.
