Composition in the Field - Photography Workshop

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.

Winter Park, ten minutes from the Orlando city center, was founded over a century ago and has grown into a charming community, punctuated by small winding brick streets, and a canopy of old southern live oak and camphor trees, draped with Spanish moss. Winter Park’s main street, Park Avenue, is a premier shopping area in greater Orlando, with many tiny specialty shops and outdoor cafes. On Saturday mornings, this small town becomes even more vibrant as farmers from as far away as Georgia have come to set up their tents and tables and sell their wares.

The Winter Park Farmer’s Market is a photographers paradise. The tables and stands filled with flowers and vegetables present a mélange of color, shape, form and interesting compositional opportunities. For those interested in “street,” i.e., photographing people in their environment, the vendors, shoppers and local residents strolling with their dogs though the market present endless opportunities. Our class meets at the fountain beside the rose arbor in the city park at the intersection of Park and New England Avenues, in the heart of the Winter Park shopping district.

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.
