Regional Roadtrip is a series of 8 half-day photo expeditions featuring a range of locations and providing the opportunity to photograph a variety of subjects, including landscape, nature, wildlife, people, events and ceremonies.

Students can expect to improve and refine their ability to recognize interesting subject matter and execute a quality photograph on the fly. They will shoot on location using a variety of compositional skills such as framing, subject placement, negative space, and motion. 

In addition, there will be dedicated time for mid-program image-review, critique and skill development built into the schedule.Participant photographers will be asked to share two assignment images from each shoot for instructor and group feedback. Potential locations include HogsBack/Arboretum, Gatineau Park, and the Canadian Museum Of Nature.

 
  • This is a program for photographers at the intermediate or advanced level who have a high degree of comfort with manual shooting, post-production, and the use of a DSLR with interchangeable lenses. Participants will assume all responsibility for transportation to and from the shooting locations, limited carpooling may be available. Any entrance fees are included in the course fees.
