We are fortunate to have many talented photographers present photography workshops throughout the year in a variety of popular Michigan destinations.
Todd and Brad Reed offer Photography Workshops throughout the year. Picture Perfect Weekend Workshops are for total beginners as well as seasoned professionals who have been shooting for decades. All photographers will learn and benefit from the Picture Perfect Workshops. Todd and Brad cover many technical aspects of photography, including shutter speed, F-stops and aperture, ISO, depth of field, etc. Their goal is to teach people how to make better choices with their own camera…and to have a thrilling experience while learning.
The goal of this workshop is to give you the knowledge to be more consistent in hitting home run photographs every time you take your camera out of the bag.
There are two parts to making an image, the technical side, and the artistic side. In one weekend, we will spend time teaching and helping you understand BOTH parts to making a great image, so you are more confident next time you’re ready to capture your home run image.
We will spend a lot of time helping you understand how to operate your camera on FULL MANUAL. To do this, we will cover the technical aspects of photography; this will include F-stops, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, depth of field, lens choice, etc.
Cost is $550 which includes food and refreshments. Space is limited to twelve participants.
In order to be eligible for future photography workshops, the participant must have already taken the Picture Perfect Weekend Workshops or be on file as the person who participated in the video series.
You must have taken either the virtual or in-person version of the Picture Perfect Weekend Workshop to attend this class. Cost is $995 and class is limited to the first five students. Participants stay at a home on Hamlin Lake, offering a great opportunity for a high level of personal interaction between photographers. You will have your own bedroom and several bathrooms are available. Lodging, all meals, and workshop fees are included in the price. The home has steep stairs and, during the outside portion of the workshop, participants will be hiking/walking on sand, dunes, etc. The main portion of the shooting experience is on a pontoon boat.
This workshop provides an amazing weekend photographing the fall color and magic light around Ludington. Participants will stay at a beautiful home on the north side of Hamlin Lake. Each student will have their own bedroom, and the house has several bathrooms as well. Lodging, all meals, and workshop fees are included in the price. The food is amazing and you won’t go away hungry! Pairing magical fall moments with Team Reed and the Smith’s hospitality will be an unforgettable experience.
Together, we will explore some of Team Reed’s favorite shooting spots in the countryside and along the lakeshore, including Ludington’s version of the Tunnel of Trees. The team will study the fall color and weather forecast during the week leading up to the workshop to customize the details and give participants the best photographic opportunities. The exact locations and times will be discussed at the workshop rather than before.
The price for the full experience of the workshop is $995. Workshop reservations are made through Todd and Brad Reed Photography. Please phone the Gallery at (231) 843-0777 to reserve your spot today. Payment is taken at the time of registration.
Todd & Brad Reed also offer private lessons. Cost is $100 per hour with a minimum of four hours (at a single time, cannot be split). This would be for one of the two photographers to give the private lesson. Availability is very limited. Email info@toddandbradreed.com for more information or to schedule private lessons.
