Explore the character of the Hudson Valley through the lens of acclaimed photographer Andrew Moore in this two-day workshop. On the first day, students will join Moore on a tour of various locations in and about Kingston NY. From historic buildings to vernacular structures, Moore will share insights into composition, lighting, and storytelling to help students create compelling images. On the second day, students will meet at Moore's studio for a constructive critique session of the photographs taken, where students will receive valuable feedback and learn how to enhance their photography skills further. This workshop combines hands-on field experience with expert guidance, allowing you to develop a deeper appreciation for visual storytelling. No prior experience is necessary, just a passion for photography and a willingness to explore the unique cultural heritage of the Hudson Valley.

This workshop is a part of the Summer 2024: Penumbra Workshops in the Hudson Valley programming and will not take place at Penumbra Foundation.
