Instructor: Elizabeth Hopkins 

Registration Opens on August 5 at 6:00 PM

Learn how to hone your eye and tell stories through pictures in this beginner-friendly digital photography workshop. Over the course of four sessions, you will learn to master digital camera operations, the ins and outs of manual exposure, as well as composition and framing. We will explore different genres, including landscape and portrait photography, using our immediate environs in Watertown as a site of play and exploration. During our last session, we will have an informal, supportive group feedback session, in which we share and discuss a handful of our favorite images taken during the workshop. Students will come away with a deeper understanding of how images convey narrative, theme, and feeling, through use of compositional elements such as light, form, and color.

Please note: Students must provide their own digital camera. DSLRs or mirrorless cameras are welcome.
