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.

Gatorland, on Orange Blossom Trail in Kissimmee, is a wildlife photographer’s paradise, with literally hundreds of gators and crocodiles you can photograph from safe walkways in the park. In addition to portfolio worthy images of the alligators, you can get great closeup shots of other creatures such as bobcats and flamingos, as well as lots of colorful flowers and landscape settings. The raised boardwalk in the “breeding marsh” area park offers close up and spectacular opportunities to photograph these animals in a natural setting. For those who enjoy a bit of fun, there is a “Jumperoo” show, where the gators are enticed, with a dangled piece of chicken, to leap out of the water for a snack.

Parking is free and there is small ($15) charge by Gatorland, for our DPA students (who show a FL driver’s license/i.d.).
