SM221 Exploring Paris Through the Lens: Welcoming Spring

Tuesdays, 22, 29 March and 5, 12 April 2016

10:00am - 1:00pm

Cost: €180

What better way to celebrate a change in seasons than to wander the grand parks and secret gardens of Paris? We will catch the last long shadows of winter and the first signs of spring, compose images, focus on the line and form of unique structures, and capture the lively characters of diverse arrondissements. Join this adventurous group of photographers as we discover the real Paris via our own personal artistic perspective.

Each class will start in a café of the chosen quartier to discuss the photo lessons of the session.  You’ll explore the area on a mission to really see the light, colors, characters, details, lines, forms, and shapes. You’ll get hands-on practice with your camera and have your questions answered on the spot. At the end of each class, you and your compatriots will review the images from the previous week’s expedition to learn from the successes and challenges.

Students can expect to:

• Become more familiar with their camera

• Learn about exposure, composition, and how to engage their subjects

• Have their technical questions answered directly

• Participate in a friendly critique session of their work

Course Requirements

• Suitable for all levels of photographers
