Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Boston Library

Almost 170 years old, the vintage architecture, combined with winding hallways, high ceilings and magnificent interior details, the Boston Public Library offers a myriad of stories to be told with your camera. With domed ceilings and soft light gleaming through huge windows, bring back a sense of earlier times. Focus on dozens of green desk lamps, atop wooden tables of rich hues, to draw the viewer of your photos into a setting and back to the interior of a cavernous space. 

Work from the top of the stairs to share a bird’s eye view of a scene beneath or tell the story of a stranger as they climb the marble stairs. The exterior structure itself as well as the walkways offer rich photographic content as do the statues and variety of interior spaces. The Boston Public Library invites the use of a variety of lenses from wide angle, to zooms and macro.

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.
