Class Information from Denise Ippolito - We will enjoy five morning and four afternoon photography sessions with image sharing daily. While we will do most of our photography at the Swan Island Dahlia Farm, we will also visit the Portland Rose Garden on this workshop (Yay!). The in-the-field instruction will include seeing the situation, the use of selective focus, creative use of depth of field, histogram and exposure guidance, designing creative images, choosing your background, isolating your subject, lens options, and the use of reflectors and diffusers. In addition to in-the-field instruction, participants will share their photos daily during our working lunches. At that time, I will offer advice and guidance with each image as well as some Photoshop tips. I will also do “small break-out” Photoshop sessions with everyone so that it can be a more intense learning time focusing more on individual needs. Our field sessions will also include challenging photography assignments (with small prizes for the winners!) geared to get you out of your comfort zone. I hope that you can join me for a creative learning experience with some of the best flower photography to be had in North America.
Daily Photo Schedule:
Morning shoot 7:00am-10:00am -(we will arrive before the fields open and shoot on the outskirts with the sun at our back. Afterwards, we will park inside the gates and explore the flower fields!)
Morning break
Lunch @ noon with clients Image Review
Afternoon shoot 3:30pm-6:30pm (5:30-6:30-private time in the gardens with just our group, we will have access to areas that others do not!)
Portland Rose Garden day will be an all day event with a lunch stop.
Our last day will end after our morning photo session around 10:00am.
*All times are tentative and subject to change based on weather and local conditions.
Not Included: All meals, transportation, and lodging. I will send a group email so that folks can ride-share or even room share once we get our group together. I’ll also send a detailed information sheet with gear and clothing suggestions.
