Not too late to join us the Sunday for Creative Seeing in the North End Photo shoot.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. Elliott Erwitt Photographer.

The class filled right up since the weather looks great for Sunday. I just decided to open up 3 more spots so if you want to join us, RSVP now.

Come discover the architectural details of the North End in Boston hidden in plain sight. You can make the ordinary extraordinary through your photography.

Learning to see creatively means slowing down to notice simple details right in front of you that have the potential to make a great photo. The things other people walk right by will suddenly jump out at you begging for your attention.

First, we will meet in front of Mike's Pastry and I will introduce you to some simple step by step practices for creative seeing so you can find beauty in the most unexpected places.

I have designed a series of three, 20 minute practices we will do together that will improve your composition, depth of field, and basic camera settings. Then you will have some time on your own to wander.

You will have a chance to try these out right away with my guidance.  You will receive individual coaching and critique while we are on the streets shooting. This way you can be confident that you will be able to repeat the process next time you are out on a shoot.

We will work with color, texture, pattern, and light to make our photos come to life. As always, this is a non technical jargon zone. It is all about the creative act of seeing and capturing the moments of life with a fresh eye.

 

I have found a fantastic area in the North End for our shoot. The winding streets are packed with interesting colors, reflections, architectural details, pipes, ghost signs.... all kinds of things you would never imagine would make great photo.

After the time on the street, we will return to Mike's Pastry and have coffee and treats while we look at our photos in a positive, constructive way.

I will share some simple tips for editing your photos to make them even more stunning.

This workshop is for you if:

• You own a camera (or smart phone with a camera) and you'd really like to use it more, but you're not really sure where to start and what to do.

• Maybe you've taken a photography workshop before or tried picking up one of those thick, boring books, but you quickly got overwhelmed and overloaded with the technical stuff.

• Your photos are “nice” but not jaw dropping all that often. You are not sure what to do to make them more dramatic and stunning.

Any camera is fine for this shoot. You can even use your iPhone if you like. This is a fun, fast paced workshop. So if you would like to meet other people who love photography and are curious about how to take better photos, I hope you will join us.

The $20.00 tuition for the workshop is covered by my 100% SNAP HAPPY GUARANTEE.  If you are not happy with what you learn during the workshop, I will return your tuition to you on the spot.

There is a small chance of rain so if I cancel the workshop due to weather, you will receive a refund.  But I almost never cancel and it is going to be warm on Sunday.

The closest T stop is Haymarket on the Orange Line. There is a public parking lot at Haymarket. Then allow 15 minutes to walk to Mikes Pastry where we will start.

We are going to have a great time! You have joined the group, now join the fun. RSVP right away to hold your space. I look forward to seeing you This Sunday, Jan.  18 1:00-3:00 We will go for coffee and pastry  at the end of class so plan to stay if you can.
