Devil’s River Photography Outing
May 18 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 pm
Learn to master the skills needed to engage your subjects and capture dramatic environmental portraits, plus expressive landscape photos and romantic water motion images. Challenge your skills as you explore rock escarpments and the beauty of spring along with students of all skill levels in a supportive learning environment.
Shooting on location with an experienced photo workshop model provides a chance to develop your photography skills as you learn to create images that capture the full range of expression and essence of people. The class will deliver guidance on both the technical aspects of model photography and the direction of subjects in a variety of situations.
The location at Devil’s River Campground (16612 County Road R Maribel, WI) offers the opportunity to photograph a historic mill, barn, silo, log cabins, and a series of small waterfalls. This is an ideal location for environmental portraits, scenic photography, and nature photography.
Pop-Up Location Lighting Studio: Using battery-powered LED lighting, we will explore all the possibilities that good lighting can add to portrait work in the field. These techniques can be easily adapted for home use or your own locations.
All cameras and smartphones are welcome!
A shoot brief will be sent to registrants prior to the outing. Students are responsible for their own transportation to the class site.
*Advisory: The locations require walking, climbing stairs, and navigating rocky environments, which may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues.
Class fee: $80
