What we’re about
If you love to travel and want to get the most out of your photography, then this group is for you. We travel to great places where you can make fun photos while being guided by a professional photographer. Plus we have local and regional outings where you can photograph cool locations that you might not know about. From beginners to professionals, everyone can learn, share and make beautiful photos. Professional photographers Ron Lake and Loren Fisher are the organizers.

This is a paid workshop, please don't RSVP until you have registered at https://www.lorenphotos.com/product/indoor-series/
When the weather turns colder and the trees are bare it isn’t always as much fun to get out to make pictures and many people lose their photo mojo over the winter. You can keep your skills sharp or learn new ones with a specially designed workshop series you can do in the comfort of your home. Plus you'll get feedback on your shots.
In this four session series, professional photographer Loren Fisher will give you fun assignments that keep you thinking about your camera settings, composition and photography in general while staying warm and safe indoors. Each session is via Zoom and will be recorded so you can watch later if you can’t make a live session.
This year's workshop is focused on composition and how little things can make your photos better. Loren is a huge believer that most photos need a strong center of interest, when he has a weak photo it usually has a weak or no center of interest. We'll talk about the difference between subject and center of interest and then we'll have assignments that help you recognize your center of interest and how to make it stand out.
We'll also have some just fun assignments like using a plastic bag and Vaseline over your lens to give you a special effect and we'll do some light graffiti. We'll shoot through glass and water and see what happens. I'll show you how simple lighting can make a huge difference in your photos and then you'll give it a try.
If you did this workshop any of the previous years, you don't need to worry about it being duplicative, everything we are doing is new.
During each session we’ll talk about fun things you can shoot in your house and techniques you can use to make unique photos. The techniques you practice indoors can then be applied when you are outside shooting.
You’ll have two weeks to complete an assignment, really it’s just a topic and suggestion of things to photograph around your home. After you complete each assignment, you’ll upload one or two photos and get feedback during the next session. This isn’t a photo contest, getting feedback can be scary but it is a great way to expand your skills and it is a lot of fun to see what others did for their assignment.
Each session lasts two hours, it doesn’t matter your skill level, there will be beginners to advanced photographers. You can use anything from a cell phone camera to the most advanced mirrorless.
After you register you'll receive an immediate confirmation which will contain the Zoom link.
