Join our photo lessons at the St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, which is one of the excellent locales in the rotation of many Chicago venues that offer terrific photo opportunities.
This Composition in the Field class is structured so you have an opportunity to photograph the inside of the church, and the outside of the church. The delicate antique designs of the interior are perfect subjects for experimenting with composition…The outside of the church provides stunning architecture that can act as a backdrop to a portrait photo, or the main subject of a still life. Shoot inside this amazing church for the first half of the class. After that, shoot outside for an hour, and then meet at Star Lounge Cafe (2521 W. Chicago Ave.) to warm up and finish the class by looking at everyone’s images. Come and shoot inside a beautiful cathedral, where seeing the details will keep us exploring behind our lenses.
Students will explore the possibilities and challenges with shooting in both lighting situations. This will be an informative, fun and challenging workshop led by DPA instructor, Rose Yuen. Join Art in shooting quality imagery in an unexpected venue where balance within our frame, exposure, and composition is the focus. We will see differently behind the lens when we can utilize everything that is available to be shot. Composition in the field explores the avenue of being able to take great imagery no matter where you are. Our church locations are incredibly popular. Here are some images of happy students focusing on capturing that great photo.
Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates). There is street photography, magnificent interiors, farmers markets, zoos, landscapes, and more, photos of which are included within. These photos are a mix of student and instructor images in many different venues and cities across the United States and Canada.
You will have fun in the three-hour session, learn to shoot strategically, get more interesting photos of the event, and walk away with a foundation to improve your photographs in the future, whether you’re traveling, or at a birthday party and everywhere in between.
