Creative Car Photography Workshop
Hidden steps away from the Pennsylvania Turnpike in southeast, PA, is a wonderful place to visit and explore. Classic Auto Mall is a world-class consignment house, with over 1,000 automobiles in over 336, 000 square feet of space! For classic car lovers-this place is a dream. For photographers looking to challenge themselves creatively, this is a wonderful playground!
Wether you’re an automobile aficionado, or just someone like me who can appreciate the incredible beauty of the color, shapes, lines, etc, you will thoroughly enjoy visiting and photographing here with us!
The main emphasis of the workshop is creativity. We will be focusing on not just documenting our subjects, but learning to see them in new, unique ways, capturing images that truly reveal their character. We will do this through creative use of composition, perspective, aperture choice, lens choice and more! You will leave this workshop with far more creative and unique images than you thought possible, without special gear or difficult techniques. You will also gain a greater understanding of how lens choice and perspective can have a massive impact on your images, and how to use these skills to think differently and see your subjects in a more unique way.
Join us for our first photo trek to this amazing place! Attendees kept to a minimum to allow for greater hands-on learning with your instructor. A detailed list of gear suggestions and all other pertinent info will be emailed about a week prior to the workshop. We will also have a pre-trek class via Zoom to go through images and tons of teaching tips to get you ready for the event. Your registration also includes a post-trek image review, where we will go through participant’s favorite images, discussing how they might be improved. Some post processing tips will be given, as well.
