Brimfield Antique Market Photo Field Trip

Time to plan for Brimfield!
Our exciting destination for this special field trip is the Brimfield Antique Market just 90 minutes from Boston, near Sturbridge Village. Brimfield provides a treasure trove of photo opportunities. You can choose to focus on the people, the place, or the things you see. It is like a giant visual feast of color, action and fun. Collect some of the most fascinating photos of your life during this one day photo fieldtrip. You just never know what you will see. See some samples of mine and from previous participants in the album below.

Brimfield Antique Market is BIG. 20 fields, 6,000 dealers, 50,000 visitors. This can be overwhelming. That is why it is great to go with a guide like me. I will help you find your way and take some of the most curious, fascinating, and unexpected photos of your life. WE go mid week so there are not too many people.

The photography skills you will develop during the day:

How to use your camera better. Working with different settings for each assignment.

• How to use composition to simplify the scene and create a dynamic image.

• How to focus on the visual design elements of color, line, texture shape and color.

• How to take your camera off the auto setting for clear, properly exposed photos.

• How to create photo essay with a series of images that add up to tell a story.

• All levels are welcome. You can shoot on auto or venture into the off auto world with some basic technical tips and guidance from me.

Why go with a professional guide?
Because I make arrangements with the top dealers so we have special permission to photograph their space. We can even move things around! I know which dealers are photo friendly.

Because I reserve a parking spot for you. So don't worry when you see all those signs that say LOT FULL.

Because I have been going to Brimfield twice a year for 24 years! I know my way around and love to share best photo opportunities with you.

Because I arrange special permission for us to shoot in the top dealer setups.

There is a definite art to photographing the Brimfield Flea Market! I will be be sharing my secrets and taking a small group of you on a photo field trip to Brimfield located in Sturbridge MA. You can drive down same day, or go the night before and stay at an inn. If you choose this option book right away since the hotels fill up very fast.

Are you a lover of vintage flea markets and antiques? Are you a person who enjoys being surrounded by fascinating people in a festival like setting?Are you curious about how to take better photos of the unexpected moments of life?

I make arrangements for parking and for specific dealers who welcome us into their tents. Not all dealers are photo friendly but I have developed relationships with the top dealers who will let you shoot. Some, only allow our group to shoot!

The subjects: textures, people, dogs, collectables, textiles, glass, sliver, artwork, and that is just one field! It is almost impossible for me to describe what you will see, because honestly, it is never the same twice.

Spend the entire day at Brimfield with the fabulous small group with me as your photo guide. I will be providing photo tips, instructions and assignments all day. Some creative photo topics we will cover include composition, lighting, cutting out clutter, story telling, photographing people and pets and macro settings. I will share with you how to avoid the three biggest mistakes photographers make when shooting events and gatherings. You will also receive individual coaching during the day to help you with the specific type of photos you want to take.

You never know what you will see. Have your camera ready at all times. And everyone is happy to strike a pose if you say please.

It is almost impossible to describe Brimfield. You will just have to come on the adventure and experience it for yourself. I am counting the days and hope you will join us. RSVP now to save your space. If you want to go the night before, you should book a hotel room NOW since they fill right up. Call pooling is also possible once we know who is going.

Let's go!!!!
