Description

This Midcoast Photography Workshop for Beginners is the perfect workshop for you to learn the fundamentals of photography and cultivate your personal style while being immersed in the field.


Have you been hesitant to sign up for a workshop due to feeling inexperienced? This is the perfect workshop for you to learn the fundamentals of photography through being immersed in the field.


Workshop Description:


This workshop will reinforce the basic building blocks of photography to learn how to capture beautiful images that reflect your own personal style. This workshop will consist of hands-on learning in the environment as well as class time. During this workshop you will learn about exposure, composition, depth of field as well as how to “see” the light.


Workshops are limited to 5 people to maximize individual instruction.


Possible locations include Pemaquid Point Light, New Harbor, Port Clyde, Marshall Point Light, Owls Head, Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Lincolnville and Belfast harbors.


These workshops are designed to maximize learning opportunities and provide guidance on creating the kind of images you want to create. This is not a photo tour. There will be individual instruction based on your goals and your questions. Plan for a full day of photography from early morning through late afternoon. There will also be classroom time where we discuss a range of topics that lead to successful image making.


Instructor Bio


Dave Waddell is a professional photographer with over 14 years of experience photographing a diverse and varied set of subjects and is the staff photographer at Down East and Maine Homes. In 2017, he moved from Philadelphia with his wife and two children and settled into a new home in midcoast Maine, where they have spent the last five years falling head over heels in love with the people and landscape of this incredible state. For Dave, photography is a means for a deeper immersion in the surrounding environment and a way to connect with and learn more about others, their interests and motivations. In addition to photography, Dave loves to spend time with family and friends, play guitar, and spend as much time as possible outdoors hiking, biking, kayaking, and snowboarding.
