Join local photographer and recent Digitalfest keynote speaker Adam Barker along with acclaimed photographer Mylo Fowler for a photography workshop in the desert southwest.
Location: Page, Arizona and Navajo land of Northern Arizona. Home area of Mylo Fowler. 10-12 locations. Colorado River, Slot Canyons, sand dunes, sage and Navajo sandstone formations.
When: October 11-13th 2013. Three (3) full days. One of the only places where a workshop can use all the available light provided in a day. This isn’t a sunrise/sunset only photographic location. Adequate classroom work and rest will be provided. You won’t burn out.
What: We will cover using an assortment of filters, composition, and artistic emotion in the image, de-mystifying and learning how to utilize your camera’s histogram, tripod usage, and creating panoramic images. A lot of hands-on, one-on-one field work from award winning photographers Adam Barker and Mylo Fowler. They will always be in reach of assistance for help, review, and critiques.
5to 6 Classroom Sessions: Conference room setting. Bring your laptop/computer. We will dive into exposing great images and creating stunning fine art with post processing software. We will cover creating exceptional compositions, controlling all elements of light, sharp as tact depth of field images, color renditions and high quality creativity from your camera. How to create a few supreme images instead of hoarding 5,000 images from a location you will never use.
One of the highlight classroom sessions will be the group critique sessions. Why? This will allow you to see your work from a different perspective. IF you want long lasting friends in the photography world, this is where a lot of the friendships start. Heck, even some marriages! For you single lads and ladies, this isn’t a place to find your future love. Actually, it is. Your love of photography will grow on this workshop! All in all you will get a chance to express your views, speak the same language with fellow photographers that your other friends and family just don’t understand.
