This one-day workshop will focus on thoughtfully using available light and careful composition to capture the best images possible from whatever camera you use. Come with camera in hand, prepared to learn by doing as we photograph people, landscapes, and details. Digital SLRs and tripods are not required, but are highly recommended.

Hood River, OR • 6 PM Friday, May 31 to 7 PM Sunday, June 2, 2013

In this multi-day workshop, we will explore the joys and challenges of travel photography. How does a photographer capture the spirit of a location, who determines what that spirit is, what elements are necessary to tell a good travel story with images? In this workshop I will address these questions and more through a series of brief lectures, class assignments, and image review sessions. Come with your photography tools ready to work, collaborate, and learn. Laptops and the skill to import, cull, and sort your images are required. I will be using Lightroom 4 for Mac OSX in class, but you may use whatever you are comfortable with. Digital SLRs and tripods are not required, but are highly recommended.

Adventures: Everest Base Camp Trek(Details coming soon)
South Base Camp, Nepal • Fall 2013 Dates Pending

Hudson Henry Photography is proud to join forces with Red Lantern Journeys to offer this epic photographic journey to the heart of the Himalayas.  Join Hudson along with veteran Himalayan climber and Everest summiteer Don Beavon.  Learn advanced digital photographic techniques while exploring the landscape, culture, history, and legends of this vibrant, fascinating region at the top of the earth.

This classic is one of the most interesting and scenic treks in the world.  As we trek through the highest mountains on earth we will stay in Sherpa villages.  Along the way Hudson will conduct lessons in composition, portraiture, landscapes, low light, artificial light, advanced digital capture techniques, and image file management.  Each day will begin and end with optional guided dawn and sunset photo sessions and there will be ample opportunity to have your images reviewed and critiqued in nightly sessions.  All the while Don Beavon will share tales of Himalayan climbing lore and share his personal experience with climbing to the summit of Mt. Everest.

This is a very special trek that we are very excited about.  We have worked to keep costs as low as possible while simultaneously keeping the number of trekkers small to ensure lots of individual attention and a high quality workshop experience.
