    ave you ever thought about the fact that photographers love to share photographs of the final destination, but they love to tell stories about the journey they took to get the final shot?

    Adventure photography is the style of photography you can shoot to incorporate visual representations of the journeys you take. However, you can’t simply shoot the classic outdoor scene and put a person in your frame. There are very specific techniques photographers should learn to shoot adventure photography.

    Your instructor for this class, David Johnston, will provide you with tips and insights on the following aspects of adventure photography:

    • The similarities of landscapes and adventure photography
    • The differences of landscapes and adventure photography
    • How to compose an adventure shot
    • Including your gear in photographs
    • How to access your camera faster to freeze a moment in time
    • The gear you need for adventure photography
    • Lighting of adventure photography
    • How to edit your adventure photography
    • Your adventure photography subject placement
    SUBJECT PLACEMENT
    The most important thing to learn to start shooting successful adventure photographs is your subject placement. This is clearly evident when you study images shot by accomplished adventure photographers vs. those without experience. After figuring out subject placement tricks, your adventure photographs will drastically improve!

    SPEED
    Speed is a huge factor of adventure photography. Classic outdoor photos involve a lot of waiting around for the right conditions. Adventure photography is full of fast-paced moments that are gone in the blink of an eye. Capturing those moments is imperative to a great adventure shot.

    In addition to the detailed video help you’ll receive, this class provides you with a downloadable class guide that was designed to complement the topics you’ll explore so you can take notes as we examine adventure photography.
