A Day On Catalina Island with Peter Bennett (Hybrid Learning – Two Sessions)

About

Hybrid Learning (In-Person and Online)

Join photographer Peter Bennett for an exciting one-day workshop in the charming town of Avalon on Catalina Island. Designed for both beginning and experienced photographers, this immersive experience will take place from 11 AM to 7 PM, allowing participants to explore the rich history and stunning scenery of Avalon while honing their photography skills. 

Throughout the day, you’ll capture the unique character of this picturesque locale, learning to tell compelling visual stories through your lens. Peter will provide guidance on composition, lighting, and other photographic techniques, all while fostering a fun and collaborative atmosphere. 

After our adventure in Avalon, we will reconvene online via Zoom for a second session dedicated to critiquing and reviewing your work. This is a fantastic opportunity to receive feedback and deepen your understanding of your photographic journey. Don’t miss this chance to explore, create, and connect with fellow photography enthusiasts!

It is strongly encouraged to purchase ferry ride tickets well in advance of the class.?On March 29th, there is a ferry ride departing Long Beach at 9:50 AM and returning the same day at 7:45 PM. Participants are encouraged to purchase tickets for this ferry ride, if choosing to stay in Avalon one day only. (From Long beach, the ferry typically takes about one hour to Avalon and one hour back.)
