About this Event

Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates). There is street photography, magnificent interiors, farmers markets, zoos, landscapes, and more, photos of which are included within. These photos are a mix of student and instructor images in many different venues and cities across the United States and Canada.

You will have fun in the three hour session, learn to shoot strategically, get more interesting photos of the event, and walk away with a foundation to improve your photographs in the future, whether you’re traveling, or at a birthday party and everywhere in between.


The Houston Arboretum and Nature Center offers miles of nature and hiking trails without bikers and other activities that distract from the communion with nature and wildlife. Focus on a quiet scene of beautiful trees and shrubberies anchored by a wooden walkway or bench nestled within the foliage.

With colorful flowers and small Texas bred wildlife, use your Aperture Priority setting to capture animals as they go about their daily lives. Your instructor will help you depict portraits against background of contrasting colors to highlight your main subject, whether it is a butterfly, rabbit, turtle or other creature found in abundance.

For broader landscape shots, the options are unending and you can learn to compose these images in a way that elevates your photos from snapshots to compelling images with age old composition techniques such as Leading Lines, Rule of Thirds, Negative Space, Layering and much more.


Please note – if a class must be cancelled due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control we will be happy to work with you to reschedule or provide a refund. However, if you should need to cancel or require a new class date, contact us. A $25 transfer fee will be imposed without a 3 day notice before the scheduled class.

Call Digital Photo Academy at 1 877 372 2231 or a field agent at 917 597 7053. Lots of people seem to hang up if our welcome recording comes on instead of a live voice, but we promise to return your message within a day or two if you leave one with your name and number. It would be even better if you included your email address as well as the date and city of the class you are considering. If leaving a voice mail message is not your thing, please email us at and include the date and city of the class you are considering, as well as your phone number.
