Summerkeys - Photo Master Class
Aug 7 - 9, Time: see website for schedule
Location: Summerkeys, 4 Bayview Street, Lubec
Internationally acclaimed author, journalist and documentary photographer Frank Van Riper leads Master Classes in which students will “construct, then deconstruct” their photographs during intense, step-by-step instruction both in the studio and on location. These classes are roughly half the size of our normal week-long workshops and offer a unique opportunity for hands-on instruction from a nationally known photographer and author. Advanced techniques in portraiture and street photography; landscape and interiors; on- and off-camera flash. Detailed critique after each day’s shooting. Enrollment must be approved by director.
