Architecture Photography
Saturday 08 April
Downtown Providence, RI - 10am - 2 Hours
Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.
In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Composition in the Park
Sunday 25 June
Roger Williams Park - 10am - 2 Hours
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.
Composition is one of the most critical elements in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty. You will find formal rules and opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.
Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and is how we as photographers convey that message.
This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.
