Clare's Workshops
Farm to Table photography workshop date set!
Well, it took a bit of planning, but I have FINALLY set the date for the very first Farm Photo Safari: Tuesday, September 7th, 2010.
I am so excited about this class!!
The workshop will take place on Vashon Island, where participants will tour two farms. We will start at Seabreeze Farm, where we’ll spend some time with the cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, and sheep, and then we’ll head off to photograph the Seabreeze butcher shop, located right next to La Boucherie.
After that, we’ll move on to Kurtwood Farms, and check out Kurt’s lovely property, animals, vegetable gardens and new cheese cave, (which is pretty darn cool.)
The last part of the day will focus on natural light food photography, using some of the ingredients produced by these two farms.
*Lunch and transportation on the island will be provided.
DATE: Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
TIME: 9am until approximately 4 or 5pm
COST: $300 (payment due at time of registration)
WHAT YOU’LL NEED: A digital SLR, a decent working knowledge of your camera, and runner boots
WHAT’S RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED: A laptop, a card reader, and a tripod
TO REGISTER: Email me to reserve your spot (clare at clarebarboza dot com)
More upcoming photography workshops
After much prodding and pushing, I am finally “officially” offering workshops. I have done a few lately and I have to say, I have had a total blast.
In the past several weeks, I have spent some time polling people and asking what they wanted to learn. The workshops I am offering are based on those suggestions.
•Photographing Kids
In this workshop, I will share all the little tips and tricks I use to take photos of children. There will be live models to practice on and plenty of time to address your individual questions and challenges. A digital SLR is preferred, (as opposed to a point and shoot) and basic knowledge of your camera is required. Workshops are 6 hours.
$250 per person
Class size limited to 6
•Basic Photography
Do you have a digital SLR but are not sure how to use it outside of the automatic mode? Do words like “aperture”, “shutter speed” and “depth of field” fill you with panic and reaching for your trusty point and shoot camera? Do you want to be a better photographer?
This class will teach you the basics of shooting in manual mode, how to have more creative control and take better photos, and how to use natural light. We will talk about photographing people and still lifes and you will have lots of time to practice all your new skills. A digital SLR is required. Workshops are 6 hours.

•Farm Photo Safari
This class is all about learning to tell a story with your camera. Classes will take place on a farm and participants will document the landscape as well as some of the processes involved in getting food from the farm to the table. The second part of the day will focus on natural light food photography.
This class will be offered multiple times, (at different farms) from late June through October. A digital SLR is preferred, (as opposed to a point and shoot) and basic knowledge of your camera is required. Classes will be approximately 8 hours.
$300 per person
With the Farm Photo Safari classes, the dates will be determined by the schedules of the various farmers. The first workshop will most likely happen in late June.
