Who should take NWE’s Camera Café workshop?

Northwest Exposure’s Camera Café workshops are open to all photographers, from beginners to passionate enthusiasts and advanced amateur who wish to improve their skills in a collaborative, hands-on workshop setting.

We offer technical and creative skill development through critique and discussion of photographs, in-studio instruction, in-the-field experience with professional guidance, and constructive feedback of  participants’ work.

A working knowledge of your camera’s functions is strongly recommended, though we will also provide instruction in how to use your camera, including its advanced features. Any camera, digital or film may be brought. Opportunities to have work critiqued during the workshop are limited to those with digital cameras. If you prefer to use film, arrangements can be made for viewing the work and receiving feedback at a later date, after the film is developed. We have digital cameras and lenses available for use at a very reasonable daily rate.

The number of workshop participants is kept small to maximize the individual learning experience and the instructor-student ratio.

Workshop Topics

* Defining your photographic goals

* Project-based photography as a development path

* Approaches to photographic subjects

* In-camera composition – vantage point, lens choice

* Working with available light

* Considerations in photographing people

* Close-up and macro photography of gardens — technical and aesthetic factors

* Camera settings for candid and quick photography

* Your Questions!

What to Bring

* A digital or film camera with which you’re familiar (make sure you have freshly charged batteries and a charger or a spare battery)

*  At least 4-16 GB of memory cards. If shooting film, call us and we can discuss which film will best meet your needs for the day.

* Comfortable walking shoes

* Optional: Sunscreen and / or hat. You may also wish to bring a laptop computer to download your images from your memory card.

* Lunch: you may bring a lunch with you or purchase one nearby at World Café or other establishment.
