October is officially spooky season! What comes to mind as we prepare for Halloween more than classic noir films? Join Photo Pro Andrea as we think like Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick, but with an underwater twist. Sign up for the Photo Noir Macro Workshop to add an air of mystery to your images.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Explore dramatic contrasts between light and dark. Use fascinating lighting techniques, and gears like snoots. Learn how to manipulate lighting and strobes to cast shadows on your subjects.

Keeping with the theme of films in the 1940s and 50s, this workshop will challenge you to think in black and white for macro subjects. Compose stunning portraits that perfectly capture spooky season vibes!
