Winter Indoor Photography Workshop Series

### Indoor Winter Photo Workshop: Exploring the Familiar

Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean your camera should sit still. This online workshop is all about finding beauty, meaning, and inspiration indoors. Over four sessions we’ll use light, color, shadow, and emotion to create new work at home. No travel required. Each session includes a photo critique, a creative lesson, and an assignment to keep you shooting in between. You don’t need fancy gear or a studio setup, just a willingness to see differently.

This year's workshop is focused on exploring the familiar. If you did this workshop any of the previous years, you don't need to worry about it being duplicative, everything we are doing is new.

During each session we’ll talk about fun things you can shoot in your house and techniques you can use to make unique photos. The techniques you practice indoors can then be applied when you are outside shooting.

You’ll have two weeks to complete an assignment, really it’s just a topic and suggestion of things to photograph around your home. Yes, it is ok to go outside and make images but you don't have to! After you complete each assignment, you’ll send one or two photos and get feedback during the next session. This isn’t a photo contest, getting feedback can be scary but it is a great way to expand your skills and it is a lot of fun to see what others did for their assignment.

Each session lasts two hours, it doesn’t matter your skill level, there will be beginners to advanced photographers.

Wednesdays, Jan. 28, February 18, March 4, March 18 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

### Session 1: Finding Magic in the Mundane

We start by slowing down and looking closer. You’ll learn how to make compelling images of things you usually walk right past. It’s about using your eye, not your gear, to bring ordinary scenes to life.

### Session 2: Photographing a Feeling

Photography isn’t just about what you see, it’s about what you feel. In this session we’ll explore how to use light, color, and composition to express emotion. Whether it’s calm, drama, tension, joy, or nostalgia, your challenge is to make the viewer feel something.

### Session 3: Shadows and Layers

We’ll explore how to create depth and mystery using shadows, reflections, and layers. You’ll learn to build images that invite viewers to look deeper and linger longer.

### Session 4: The Element of Surprise

Great photography isn’t about getting it right the first time, it’s about staying curious. We’ll work a single
