SUMMARY:Nature Photography Workshop: Seeing Light in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Elevate Your Eye & Master Your Camera\nWe are thrilled to welcome McCory James—a highly accomplished Denver-based professional photographer\, painter\, and celebrated educator from the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC)—for an exclusive\, two-part workshop series this fall. \nWhether you are shooting on a high-end camera or your smartphone\, McCory’s hands-on mentorship will help you shift from simply documenting a scene to capturing its true emotion and story. \nWorkshop Dates & Class Structure\nMcCory will be hosting sessions on Saturday\, September 12th and Saturday\, October 10th. Each date features two distinct\, complementary classes designed to work hand-in-hand. \n\nBundle & Save: Take a single class to sharpen a specific skill\, or immerse yourself in both sessions for the ultimate creative breakthrough. Register for both classes on the same day and receive a $20 discount! \n\nThe Learning Format\nEvery single session is split into a perfect balance of theory and practice: \n\n\nHour 1 | In the Classroom: A clear\, jargon-free lesson breaking down core creative concepts. \n\n\nHour 2 | In the Gardens: A hands-on\, guided shooting experience where you will immediately apply what you just learned alongside McCory. \n\n\nYou’ll walk away with practical skills\, a fresh artistic perspective\, and stunning images you’ll be proud to share. \nFrequently Asked Questions \nDo I need prior photography experience to join?\nNot at all. These workshops are entirely beginner-friendly and tailored for beginner-to-intermediate creators. McCory focuses on simple\, practical techniques that bypass technical intimidation to build your confidence and spark your creativity. \nWhat kind of equipment should I bring?\nBring whatever camera you love to use—including your phone. Photography is about how you see\, not just what you shoot with. The concepts McCory teaches apply beautifully to all types of gear. If you have a tripod or filters (like a polarizing or neutral density filter)\, feel free to bring them along\, but they are completely optional! \nAre these workshops hands-on or lecture-based?\nThey are a deliberate mix of both. We believe the best way to learn art is by doing. By pairing a concise one-hour classroom lesson with a one-hour real-world shooting session in the beautiful surrounding gardens\, you get immediate feedback and a chance to lock in your new skills on the spot.
