Picture Perfect Weekend Workshop located at Todd & Brad Reed Photo
There are two parts to making an image: the technical side and the artistic side. In one weekend, we will teach and help you understand BOTH parts of 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 in FULL MANUAL. To do this, we will cover the technical aspects of photography, including F-stops, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, depth of field, lens choice, etc.
The second part of the workshop will also focus on photography's art/vision side and provide you with more choices/building blocks to create great art. For the 20/20 Vision portion of the workshop, we teach the 20 concepts we use every day when building our own compositions.
One thing we stress is that we build photographs; we don't take photographs.
The Picture Perfect Workshop is great for a total beginner with a new camera or a seasoned professional looking for a different perspective. All ages and abilities are welcome.
We will share all of our secrets on every aspect of our photography business and our secrets on how we shoot.
"I have taken almost every workshop Todd and Brad have offered. The classes have helped me to develop into the photographer I am today. We started with learning the steps of learning what makes a beautiful image, to learning to shoot in manual mode, and beyond. I already had a love of photography, but they helped me see that it's more than a love of photography- it's a way of life."

Heaven on Hamlin Advanced Workshop
Participants will stay at a beautiful home on the north side of Hamlin Lake. You will spend about 3 hours inside on the curriculum part of the workshop, but most of the workshop will be spent outside shooting along the Lake Michigan Shoreline and around Hamlin Lake.
After spending some time looking at and discussing sample images of Todd, Brad and Rachel's that help show these concepts, you will spend the majority of your time shooting sunsets and sunrises as well as looking for wildlife and putting the steps to Achieving Grade A Photographs to work!
"Unlike some professional photographers, the Todd and Brad Reed team go out of their way to share their knowledge of photography. Studying techniques from Galen Rowell, one of the finest photographers in the world, they have combined thoughts to instruct programs such as “How to Really See the World in Photographs”, their “20/20 Vision”, and the advanced program of the “4Fs = Forethink, Feel, Focus and Finish”. The Charlevoix Photography Club was fortunate to have this Father and Son team instruct our members on the basic principles of Nature Photography as well as serving as jurors in one of our photography exhibitions...
