Great Shots in the Urban World

Founded in 1745, historic downtown Frederick retains its old-world charm with a modern-day way of life. Quaint restaurants and small shops line the historic streets that are filled with activity. As such, urban photography opportunities are everywhere in Frederick. You will photograph the historic urban architecture constructed of brick and stone, and the more modern glass and steel buildings.
This class will help you learn:
- To see juxtapositions to tell a story
- Create artistic expressions with composition techniques

You will create images on an easily paced photo walk with guided instruction coupled with gentle critique and suggestions to make your pictures the best they can be.
