The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation (FPPF) will hold a travel photography workshop on May 1, 2010 in Laguna. The workshop will be mentored by veteran travel photographer George Cabig.
The workshop will cover the town of Nagcarlan where participants will tour and photograph the historical Nagcarlan subterranean crypts, the Caliraya Resort where a fashion and glamour shoot will be held with professional models, and the town of Paete with its old historical church, the various wood carving activities and the magnificent sunset at Wawa Park.
The main thrust of the workshop is to open up your mind’s eye, keenly identify photographic opportunities and make creative decisions, then properly execute it in terms of exposure and composition. The process will cover all elements of design: line, shape, form, texture, pattern and color, as well as techniques like panning, freezing motion, selecting lenses, using graduated neutral density filter and polarizing filter.
In addition to landscape photography, George will also demonstrate how to shoot “strobist-style” environmental portraits with one hot-shoe flash plus some portable light modifiers. Topics range from lighting equipment, basic knowledge about the use of hot-shoe flash and light modifiers, to portrait lighting techniques.
Workshop fee is P5,000 per person, inclusive of instruction, transportation, model fees and meals (breakfast and lunch).
Bring your digital SLR, tripod, flash, wide-angle to telephoto zoom or prime lenses, filters including polarizer, neutral density, graduated neutral density or any other filters you may have, and of course appropriate clothing for the weather and location.
