Do you want to learn how to make stunning photographs? Do you
want to do it in a small photo workshop where you can spread out
and find your own subject, not stand shoulder to shoulder with
a lot of other photographers?
Then join Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures and have a great
time while learning to seek and refine your own creative vision,
whether in a regularly-scheduled photo
workshop or in a private workshop of
your choosing.
While Margo and Arnie don't tell
you exactly what to photograph, they take you to great locations
and pride themselves on giving you the tools — understanding
the magic of light, elements of composition, knowledge of color,
and processing techniques — that
will help inspire you to create more compelling photographs, regardless
of your experience level.
They can also help those who are interested develop a logical,
efficient workflow that will make the storage and processing of
your images easier.
Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures has been around since the early
80s, and with Arnie and Margo's great
track record as well-seasoned, working pros with decades of teaching
experience, you will learn a lot! While they may sometimes photograph
with you, their first commitment is always to give you, the participant,
the most rewarding photographic and learning experience possible.
With workshops limited to 12 participants sharing two instructors
(maximum 6:1 ratio), you can be assured of lots of individual
attention, help, and critiques in both the field and classroom.
In addition, since we have small groups, we have gained access
to some private areas that cannot handle larger groups.
Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures is proud to report that some
of our students have won awards and
been accepted into juried shows! We have been
featured on the websites of Crain's
Chicago Business (search for Snapping Safaris, Oct. 5, 2009), Travel
+ Leisure, and Topsail
Island (a popular east-coast destination), as well as
in the October 2008 and July 2009 print issues of Outdoor
Photographer. We have also been quoted in Shutterbug and
PDN.
Our workshops include the following:
Maximum 6-to-1 ratio students to instructors;
Welcome reception;
Our Basic Principles of Photography booklet with lots of tools
to help you improve your photography and instructions for printing
from Lightroom;
Early-morning and late-afternoon shoots;
Mid-day processing and tweaking your images with the latest version of
Lightroom and for those who wish, Photoshop CS4 and Photomatix;
Lots of individual instruction in both the field and classroom;
Critiques, both individual and group;
Discussions on various aspects of photography, including digital workflow;
Final group critique and show; and
Lots of fun and frivolity througout!
