Weekend Photo Composition and Critique Workshop, Chicago

August 25 -27, 2017
Instructor- Ben Long
Meet Ben Long for a weekend of composition practice in this three-day intensive workshop.  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 critiques during this workshop.
