About

Award-winning photographers Shirley Whitenack and Richard St. Peter will be leading a photography workshop at Dare Arts on Tuesday, August 19. If you want to make pictures instead of take pictures, this class is for you!


Learn how to fully utilize the four basic shooting modes. In addition, you will learn and practice compositional techniques to include utilizing directional light, point of focus, identifying power points, and depth of field (blurred, soft background vs. detailed, sharp background). Through lecture, demonstration, and on-location photography you will gain confidence in your photographic ability.

Class wrap-up will encompass image review/critique, photo resources, and follow-up questions. Each participant will receive a binder of photography handouts to keep for future reference.


What to bring: Camera, lenses, battery charger, instruction manual, digital media, and flashdrive. A laptop (to review images) is recommended but not required.
