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.

Railroad and Shipping Industrialist, Henry Plant, began construction of the magnificent Tampa Bay Hotel back in 1888 and took the better part of 3 years to complete. The moorish design, 511 rooms, was patronized by the celebrities of the day, including Teddy Roosevelt, Sarah Bernhardt, Stephen Crane and Babe Ruth. Today it is the Plant Building and serves as the University of Tampa, dating back to 1933. All of its charm is still intact today and Digital Photo Academy Instructor will lead a 3 hour in-the-field shoot that offers tips and techniques on how to best capture cityscapes, architecture up close and far off, with detail on the mystic silhouettes of the minarets, domes and cupolas.

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.
