The Art of the Junkyard: A Tamron Photography Workshop
Hidden among the trees is a remarkable collection of weathered vehicles, forgotten signs, handcrafted objects, and unexpected scenes.
Join Allen’s Camera, Tamron Americas, and Professional Photographer Rick Gerrity for a two-part photography experience devoted to finding compelling images in a visually complex environment. During the field session, Tamron will have free loaner lenses available, giving you the freedom to experiment with different focal lengths, new perspectives, and support your creativity.
The workshop begins at Allen’s Camera on Friday, October 2nd at 5:30 p.m. During this classroom session, we’ll explore techniques for working with color, texture, shape, and natural light. We’ll also discuss how lens choice and perspective can transform your subject - from wide angel shots to macro shots revealing every detail.
On Sunday, October 4th 10am, we’ll meet in the Egg Harbor, NJ area for a guided field session. You’ll photograph antique cars and trucks, fading paint, oxidized metal, vintage signs, woodland details, and some unexpected finds. You’ll be encouraged to create a collection of photographs that captures the atmosphere, mystery, and oddity of the place.
Special guest model Tiffani Nicole, known as @missrubeeanne - will bring vintage-inspired style to the setting, giving participants an opportunity to create environmental portraits that complement the history and character of the antique vehicles.
Patty Gregitis from Tamron and Brendan “Fitz” Fitzpatrick of Allen’s Camera will be on location to provide assistance with composition, exposure, camera settings, and lens selection. His experienced eye and approachable teaching style will help photographers at every level find strong images within this extraordinary setting.
Participants should bring a camera, charged batteries, memory cards, comfortable closed-toe footwear, and clothing appropriate for the weather and terrain.
The Sunday meeting time and exact Egg Harbor, NJ - area location will be provided to registered participants.
Registration: $40
