Taking great travel photographs can be difficult even for experienced photographers. This class will help you to improve your travel photographs with easy ‘hands-on’ techniques and creative strategies that help you avoid cliché photos and focus on capturing images as you remember them.
This ‘learn-by-doing’ class takes place in Zürich. Exploring the scenic old town, lakefront and city center, students will learn how to apply simple, step-by-step techniques for taking great photos in a variety of situations.
Shooting assignments throughout the day are designed to help students focus on their travel photo technique and style. The instructor will work with each participant to provide individual feedback and guidance.
