Meet Ben Long for a weekend of composition practice in vibrant Austin for this three-day intensive workshop. On the Colorado River, Austin is known for it’s lively bar and music culture, food scene, historic buildings, and outdoor activities. The rich city life will provide compositional challenges for all photographers, from landscape shooters to food bloggers. Through lecture, one-on-one instruction and shooting, we’ll discuss and explore many compositional ideas and examples before going out to try them on the streets. Afterwards we’ll cover some important post-production skills and practices as we select images for group analysis. Online photo sharing sites and forums can be a nice way to get feedback on your images but virtual feedback is a poor substitute for actual in-person group critique and we’ll conduct two of these during this workshop.
