ALL Skill Levels Welcome!

Students must bring a camera - no special equipment necessary. Any camera will due even your cell phone! This workshop is focused on learning an approach to photography and exploring. 

Architectural photography  is not just the art of photographing the outside of a building, but  also the inside. When photographing architecture one wants to capture  the structure, how it is constructed, the angles, the lighting, and all  the other elements that make each structure and its components unique.  In this class we'll explore these concepts along with others that can make a great photo.

Mike Matney has been focusing his photography on architectural artifacts for the last few years and will guide you through this minimalist approach to photography.

Explore the downtown area of Alton near Jacoby Arts Center and discover architectural artifacts to capture on camera. Participants will discuss their photography and reflect on their experience with like-minded individuals.
