In this two day photography workshop we focus on the little things within the wider landscapes of the beautiful prairies of Wisconsin.
Detail and macro photos are a great way to add a visual variety to your photography and are a great tool to compliment a series of photographs. Whether you are creating a Facebook post or photographing an entire book, a detail image will enhance your visual storytelling.
Who is this workshop for?
My workshops are about seeing and capturing the world around us and not overly focused on the camera equipment or software. Therefore they are suited for anyone from a beginner to a serious amateur.
What Equipment is required?
Good photography does not require a bag full of expensive camera gear. Whatever gear you already have is probably enough. A macro lens is helpful, but not necessary. A medium telephoto that focuses close will also work. A tripod will be helpful with macro photos.
A laptop and some form of editing software is needed to pick your photos and upload them for the photo sharing sessions.
Workshop details
The workshop is based in Sauk City, Wisconsin and we visit some of the nearby prairies. Our meetings and photo share will take place at the Holiday Express in Sauk City.
This workshop is limited to just seven students to allow for a lot of one-on-one attention. A minimum of five students is required. Lodging, meals, and transportation are not included. There is a $100 deposit to hold your spot. The deposit is refundable up to two months before the workshop.
Terrain difficulty- Easy
Most of this workshop will take place on flat prairies with good trails with very little elevation change.
