Imagine wading into the thick of a historic civil war battle. Cannon fire raging in the distance, the screams of the wounded in the foreground. Led into the smoke, action, and mayhem by award winning photojournalist and master multimedia storyteller, Jim Lo Scalzo the 15th annual enactment of this battle will prove to be an amazing opportunity to photograph a classically American spectacle. Whether you fancy yourself a modern day Mathew Brady or a Civil War-era Robert Capa, this weekend workshop is for you.
Join Jim and 800 Civil War re-enactors, 20 cannons, and a whole load of spectatin' locals on the site of the historic Battle of Sacramento in McLean County, Kentucky. The workshop will be inclusive of many different styles and a true opportunity to create something different.
Audio capture and interview skills will be a strong component of this workshop. Students will not only photograph events, but also record materials to integrate into a multi-media short form presentation. Hands-on training of microphones and digital recorders will add to your cache of knowledge and make you a more diverse documentarian. If there was any better place to explore these skills in a weekend, we can't think of it.
An enjoyable and affordable alternative to longer, more intensive workshops, Momenta's weekend adventures specialize in short, concentrated, educational programs with skill development in visually rich locations. We spend time reviewing portfolios to assess individual capabilities, and then put students into environments to shoot intensively for an entire day while being mentored.
The workshop fees include daily one-on-one access to an instructor, personalized portfolio reviews, all handouts and workshop materials, daily presentations and lectures, software and equipment training, and daily continental breakfast. We have arranged special rates with area hotels, but students are free to arrange their own housing and transportation to the workshop, that fits within their budget. Momenta Workshops also offers to make all arrangements for you at an additional fee. Please contact our staff for more information.
