Workshop Description
Alison teaches on Martha's Vineyard in the fall (the best season for photographing the island), for the Alison Shaw Photographic Workshops. The workshop will take place at the Mansion House, a luxurious state-of-the-art hotel, conveniently located in the heart of Vineyard Haven. During the workshop, days begin early — out in the field capturing the magic light of dawn and sunrise — followed by a hearty breakfast at a favorite local restaurant. During the week, we divide our time between the classroom and the field. Mid-day is classroom time. The emphasis in the classroom will be critique of new work, lecture and discussion (topics include getting great color, finding your own creative vision, exposure, digital tips, color temperature, composition, and fine art prints), discussion, and individual feedback. Late afternoons, students are back out with their cameras, exploring some of Alison's favorite locations: the dramatic clay cliffs at Aquinnah, secluded private beaches, the brightly-colored Victorian gingerbread architecture of Oak Bluffs, rolling Up-Island farmland, and the picturesque working fishing village of Menemsha. Evenings are spent photographing sunset and dusk, editing new images, and sharing dinner together over an ongoing informal discussion of photography. At week's end there is a lobster dinner hosted on the roof of the Mansion House, followed by a screening of the week's work.
You are welcome to shoot either with transparency film or with a digital SLR. Film is processed daily at a lab on the island. Most students shoot with digital cameras, but there is still a minority of die-hard film users!
