A Day In Our Life

August 10-14 and 17-21, 2009
Boston, MA


Join Dgrin's Artist-In-Residence, B. D. Colen for a week-long, small, intensive workshop environment, learning who you are as a photographer as you improve your photographic skills.

Designed for anyone interested in anything from street photography, to shooting weddings, or just taking making better images of their own family members, this workshop will introduce you to the rich traditions of documentary and street photography, and will then challenge you with a series of exercises designed to push you out of your comfort zone.You will shoot a documentary story, and shape your image into a photo story. This is not a technical workshop – although you may well gain in technical knowledge. Rather, it is a workshop focused on seeing, interacting with subjects, and understanding yourself as a photographer.

Fall Fandango

November 4-8, 2009
Santa Barbara, CA

Fall is a fantastic time in Santa Barbara! The air is clear, the weather is cool, the sea is calm and the sun rises and sets over the Pacific Ocean, making this an ideal location to shoot all day long. Enjoy everything this beautiful location has to offer with this two-part workshop:

• Shoot Santa Barbara: November 4-6
  
• Print Workshop: November 6-8

Or, you can put both parts together for the Full Fandango!

From pre-visualization to post-processing, you'll have an opportunity to launch all aspects of your workflow to a new level.
