My Approach to Photographing Road Side Attractions Featuring the Detroit Lake Trolls

Photography Tips

Oct 1, 2024

Photographing roadside attractions can be a challenge. Often these are encountered when driving from one location to another. This results in tough lighting conditions, other people, weather, and challenging backgrounds.


In this video, I discuss my approach to capturing images of these unique attractions. I am using the Trolls that have been placed around the Detroit Lakes region in Minnesota. Most of these are in the town of Detroit Lakes, but there are some that are in som eof the neighboring towns.


The statues themselves were created by Danish recycling artist Thomas Dambo. You can learn all about the trolls and Thomas by visiting the website https://project412mn.org/trolls-dl/
