“You love to travel and you love taking photos, now put them together for one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences you’ll ever have,” says John Greengo, one of the presenters in an upcoming series of intermediate-level Travel Photography Workshops.
This four-week series of classes will be held at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim, and in Port Townsend. It begins on Monday Feb. 9 — just in time to sharpen travelers’ skills for the upcoming traveling season. The four Monday sessions have been designed for those who want to take their photographic skills to the next level.
Course participants also will have an opportunity to exhibit their work at the River Center throughout March.
• On Feb. 9, DJ Bassett leads off with Ten Secrets of the Masters. The class will be at the River Center from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Bassett has assisted in Ansel Adams Photo Workshops in Yosemite National Park. He co-owned the Jackson Hole Custom Color Lab and operated Firehole Photo Expeditions in Yellowstone National Park.
• On Feb. 16, John Greengo, popular Seattle-based photo instructor, presents Travel Photography, from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the River Center. Greengo specializes in photo education with local and online classes for participants around the world. He traveled extensively while assisting in the production of Art Wolfe’s “Travels to the Edge,” and now leads his own photo tours.
• On Feb. 23, Stephen Cunliffe will meet participants for A Photo Shoot in the Field in Port Townsend. From 10 a.m.-4 p.m., he will guide the group to the town’s most picturesque and diverse locations and give onsite individual photo instruction. Cunliffe’s work has won national acclaim, including a Grand Prize Award in Canon’s 2009 “National Photography in the Parks” competition.
• On March 2, Ken Campbell will conclude the series with An Evening of Critique at the River Center. From 4-8 p.m., he will work with the students to evaluate their recent photos. Campbell’s experience includes numerous photography awards and published photos, as well as judging for the New England Camera Club Council and Olympic Peaks Camera Club in Sequim.
The cost for the four-week Travel Photography Workshop series is $295. To register, contact the River Center at 681-4706.
