Composition in the Field - Photography Workshop

The Boston Public Market is a photographer’s delight, featuring a dynamic interior with dramatic high ceilings and vintage exterior architecture at 100 Hanover St, 02108. The market itself, as well as adjacent buildings, some dating back to previous centuries, provide a rich backdrop for photography. Once inside, your Digital Photo Academy instructor will share tips on capturing the saturated colors of the fruits and flower displays in ambient lighting. Take the opportunity to make a study of the patterns within the flowers or fruit up close or create a broader view reminiscent of impressionistic paintings by the master painter Monet of France.

The market also offers great environmental portraits of performers and vendors who have brought their goods to market. Learn to capture action by focusing your lens on a chef in the midst of a demo or simply catch the crowd that surrounds the colorful displays. Your instructor will keep the group small, allowing you to get to know each other as techniques and composition strategies are shared. You can even practice photographing each other, with helpful hints from your instructor on more flattering ways to pose as the subject or advise the model you are photographing on angles, lighting, and how to pose the head and hands.
