Fun Photo Workshop: Dramatic Urban Architecture Secrets of Geometry

Greetings Photographers!
News Update. The Chinatown Parade is this Sunday, not Feb. 5th. But I won't be leading a group there this time. Decided to avoid crowds.

So I am going to offer a class on Saturday instead in a quiet area of the city.
You are invited to join this photography field trip as we explore the structures, patterns and architecture of the financial district.

I have designed a workshop that will give you the opportunity to photograph contemporary buildings and historic landmarks, big scenes and small details. Who knows what you will find. We will focus on both composition and camera settings for this class. See sample photos below.
In this class we will explore the urban canyons of the financial district in downtown Boston. Not your usual destination for photography. But packed with possibilities.

It is not always easy to practice mindfulness in the city, but it is possible in this district so come try it out. Ill share some simple but powerful practices that will help you see with fresh eyes and notice elements that make an image interesting.

If you have done this class before, we will be exploring some different sections so I hope you can join us again.
We will be focusing on black and white photography for this program but you can also work in color. iPhones also welcome. This is a good one for learning how to shoot in manual mode or to go off auto.

• Canyon Walls. Long streets of granite and cement structures.
