Learn to create stunning images in urban environments while mastering professional camera and software techniques.
During this two-day workshop with Rick Hulbert, you will learn how to photograph 3-dimensional space, both outdoors and indoors. Rick’s thorough knowledge of architecture and photography will help you learn how to emphasize the appearance of depth in your images while also helping you dramatically improve your travel photography. The techniques and methods you learn in this workshop directly translate to landscape photography or portraiture that include buildings and structures in cities, towns, and rural environments.
Equipment
There is no requirement for fancy equipment at this workshop. Ideally, you’ll have a dSLR or camera that allows you to vary the exposure, but any and every brand of camera will work. We strongly encourage participants with Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Pentax, Sony, Leica, and any other camera brands to attend. The principles taught will also apply to point and shoot cameras, mirrorless cameras and even camera phones.
This two-day workshop includes:
- Daily lectures
- Hands-on field photography
- Constructive image evaluations from selected attendee photos
