Taking the Next Step in Travel Photography: Multimedia Storytelling


Explore the Maine coast with one of travel photography’s most respected practitioners

©Bob KristFrom the Internet to the iPad, there are so many new ways to share the stories of your travels with the whole world. But static image galleries and Flickr pages just don't cut it anymore.

For the last few years, in addition to his magazine work, Bob Krist has been producing multimedia travel stories and short videos for National Geographic Traveler's blog, Intelligent Travel; the Greater Philadelphia Tourism & Marketing Corporation; the Wall Street Journal, and a host of other clients.

This workshop will cover making the transition from shooting travel stills to making travel multimedia. Bob will touch on audio gathering, shooting for story, getting started in video, and other techniques for working as a one-man, multimedia band. He'll present several of these productions and talk about the gear, and the software used to produce them.

This workshop is for accomplished still shooters who are interested in exploring multimedia and video.

 

A portfolio is required for admission.
