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.

Just over a century ago, the well-to-do families of Cleveland provided $1.25 million to build the Cleveland Museum of Art, an impressive sum for such an endeavor at the time. Today, this venerable institution receives 750,000 visitors annually, and enjoys the 4th largest endowment for any museum in the country. Over the last century the various neoclassical enhancements and renovations have largely maintained the original Beaux-Arts architectural commitment with white Georgian Marble as the main construction material. The collection has grown to include every era, theme and cultural contribution including art which emanates from Egypt, Greece, Italy, Africa, Asia and spans civilizations such as Byzantine, Medieval, Impressionism, Contemporary and Modern. The artwork and building itself offer a memorable experience for anyone but provides particular inspiration for the photographer.

It would be even better if you included your email address as well as the date and city of the class you are considering.
