The Banff Centre (Banff, AB): Call to Photographers, Deadline August 29

Banff Adventure Photography Workshop
Program dates: September 23, 2011 - September 26, 2011

Application deadline: August 29, 2011

This workshop provides an opportunity for emerging photographers to work with experienced outdoor professionals during classroom seminars, critique sessions, and outdoor fieldwork. Participants will work towards using existing knowledge of their own photographic equipment and digital software to obtain the best results, and to enhance their skills. The sessions are intense and interactive, with the goal of highlighting personal shooting styles. The intent is to investigate the 'why' and 'what' rather than the 'how'. Participants are expected to have a high degree of familiarity and comfort with their camera and software, and also should have an existing knowledge of the fundamentals of photography.

Tentative Schedule
Friday, September 23, welcome and orientation to the program
Saturday, September 24, lectures, fieldwork, and critique
Sunday, September 25, lectures, fieldwork, and critique
Monday, September 26, critique, screening of the 'best of the workshop', farewell
