Photography Class: Composition in the Field - Gas Works Park
Enhance your compositional skills with this fun photography class at Gas Works Park.
This class invites you to refine your skills with a renewed appreciation for an urban edge, capturing Seattle’s skyline and the unique industrial structures of the park. A professional photographer will begin the class with a detailed talk, outlining composition techniques. Then, they will guide you in creating powerful images by using hands-on techniques to practice symmetry within the park’s iconic gas plant remnants, balanced against Lake Union’s serene waters. You will experiment with framing, positioning the cityscape or lake within the lines of old machinery for contrast, and use leading lines to draw the viewer's attention to the horizon. This inspiring, fun class offers a creative blend of natural and industrial elements, ideal for creative compositions and photographers of all skill levels using DSLR or mirrorless cameras.

Richard patiently walked us through the steps and gave great instruction. I finally know how to navigate my camera that I've been using on auto for ten years. I'd definitely recommend this course to others
