Calling All Outdoor Photographers

Have you ever wanted to have one on one camera instruction? From portraiture, landscape, travel, to macro, this class will cover a broad scope–both in the field and via lecture–of documentary style photography with fly fishing as the backdrop.

Jessica Haydahl and Nick Price are co-teaching a 2 ½ day, three night photography workshop on Idaho’s Silver Creek. Lodging and all meals are included. The max capacity of this class is 10 people.

Nick—
“Put yourself in positions where you can experience awe. Being yourself is being different! Find images you love and figure out how to get those shots.”

Jessica—
“Shoot through things, shoot around things, shoot under things. Shoot into light, break all the photography rules. Do whatever you need to do to differentiate your work from other people”

What’s Covered:

Beginning with how to conceptualize shots you want to get, Jessica and Nick will walk everyone through fundamentals (for example: iso, exposure compensation, depth of field, aperture, shutter speed, etc,) to using both lecture time and time in the field with models, hatches, and scenery to put together a broad base of journalistic storytelling behind the lens.

Location:

Located in south central Idaho, Silver Creek is a low gradient spring creek rich in insect life known as the graduate school of fly fishing. It’s in a high desert prairie setting with Sun Valley and a more alpine topography 45 minutes to the north. This is a perfect location to work on fly fishing photography along with landscapes and portraits of fishing guides to farmers, ranchers, and cowboys.

What’s Needed:

“A willingness to learn!”

Everyone who attends should have a digital camera that allows for manual control. Do not feel as though you need to own a ton of lenses. Jessica and Nick will discuss the pros and cons of a variety of different lenses along with their respective max apertures. Nick spent his first three years shooting with only a 35 mm ƒ2 lens.

Ideally everyone will have a laptop enabling downloading imagery taken during the class, some light post production work (Adobe Lightroom), and photo critiques at the end of the 2 ½ day class.
