BEGINNER PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP 📸✨

🗓️ October 3rd–5th

Join the Beginner Photography Workshop with Samantha Stephens here at the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station!

This workshop is suited for those who consider themselves beginner photographers, whether you’ve just picked up a digital camera or you’re looking to expand your skills beyond the fully automatic mode. Immerse yourself in beautiful Algonquin Provincial Park for the weekend as you learn how to use your camera to create compelling nature and wildlife images. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a basic understanding of focus, exposure and composition. You'll be able to purposefully use the full manual mode of your camera and understand how to manipulate settings for different shooting situations. This foundational workshop will give you the knowledge you need to troubleshoot when your camera isn't producing the results you expect. You'll also be provided with resources and recommendations for continuing to practice your photography and learn intermediate skills beyond this workshop. This workshop is limited to a maximum of four people to give each participant plenty of one-on-one guidance from the instructor.

The workshop fee ($590 + HST) includes a two-night stay at the Station and all meals from dinner on the first evening to lunch on the last day.
