About this Event

Join FUJIFILM Product Expert Hayden Goldsworthy for an afternoon designed to help photographers break out of creative routines and approach familiar subjects in new ways.

All registered attendees will receive a $10.00 Dodd Camera gift card when they arrive on the day of the event

The event begins with a hands-on class on the Modern Creative approach, followed by a photowalk near the store so attendees can immediately practice the techniques covered in class. After the photowalk, attendees can return to the store to ask questions, check out gear, and take advantage of any available promotional offers.

The Modern Creative is built around a simple idea: creativity is a skill that can be practiced and developed. Through four creative pillars — Layering, Motion, Perspective, and Limitation — Hayden will demonstrate techniques such as multiple exposure, long exposure, shutter drag, intentional camera movement, and working within creative constraints.

Rather than focusing on a single genre of photography, this class explores practical tools that can be applied to portraits, landscapes, street photography, travel, events, and everyday image-making. Attendees will learn how to make more intentional choices, embrace experimentation, and use the equipment they already own to create photographs that feel more personal and compelling.

This experience is open to photographers of all camera brands, experience levels, and creative backgrounds. Attendees will leave with techniques they can immediately put into practice, fresh ideas for overcoming a creative rut, and a renewed excitement to pick up their camera and explore.
