Moose Jaw photographers to learn from Ruins and Relics

A Moose Jaw photography class is inviting its students to learn the art by studying the refuse of yesteryear.

‘Lost & Found: Ruins and Relics Revisited’ will be a daylong seminar focusing on the craft of photography. Instructor Pete Ryan, a professional photographer for National Geographic, will lead the class, which features a field component that highlights some of Moose Jaw’s old and abandoned locales. The purpose of the field study is to instruct attendees on how to capture the beauty of unusual and unexpected places.

In an era where everyone is taking photographs, knowing how to do it properly can make everything from social media feeds to Promotional Products stand out from the crowd. Principles of graphic design and cinematography can elevate a photo from good to great.

Ryan has stated that his class will focus less on technical aspects and more on a creative, holistic approach to photography, saying:



"A class as much about how to find and approach different subjects as about camera settings. You’ll soon realize that the most important part of making pictures -- is thinking. What is it you want your image to say? We’ll explore ways to think about various genres and cover techniques for making effective imagery."




The class will take place on April 28, with advance registration required. Ryan’s work has featured photographs of scenic locales around the world, with a special focus on the remote corners of Atlantic Canada where he grew up. When not working as a photographer, he teaches a series of ‘Field Class’ seminars across Western Canada, of which Lost & Found is a part.
