About this Event

Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates). There is street photography, magnificent interiors, farmers markets, zoos, landscapes, and more, photos of which are included within. These photos are a mix of student and instructor images in many different venues and cities across the United States and Canada.

You will have fun in the three hour session, learn to shoot strategically, get more interesting photos of the event, and walk away with a foundation to improve your photographs in the future, whether you’re traveling, or at a birthday party and everywhere in between.


The grand structure of the museum began in 1914 and was the vision of Stanford White and his world renown firm of the day. In 1974 another architectural style was blended in by Japanese architect, Kenzo Tange. In 2006 a third artist, Michael Graves, respectfully combined the neoclassical elegance of White’s creation with Tange’s minimalist style. It all works together and each aspect of the building offers powerful content for urban photo ops. But in February, the city is likely to be more than chilly so the major emphasis of this session is the interior of MIA and there is a lot to capture.

Your DPA instructor will help you create compelling layouts of the colorful glass Chilooly’s suspended from the ceiling in Medusa-like orbs. Or capture the dizzying array of antiquities throughout the galleries, in artistic rendering, with depth of field techniques that help to tell a story of their own. Portraits of individuals who have come to enjoy the museum also offer photos that can create jarring balances, from dramatic to humorous.Then there are paintings and modern sculptures to accessorize the visitors and they can be showcased with leading line or Rule of Third techniques and other composition approaches that will enable you to build on your own signature style of making images.


Please note – if a class must be cancelled due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control we will be happy to work with you to reschedule or provide a refund. However, if you should need to cancel or require a new class date, contact us. A $25 transfer fee will be imposed without a 3 day notice before the scheduled class.

Call Digital Photo Academy at 1 877 372 2231 or a field agent at 917 597 7053. Lots of people seem to hang up if our welcome recording comes on instead of a live voice, but we promise to return your message within a day or two if you leave one with your name and number. It would be even better if you included your email address as well as the date and city of the class you are considering. If leaving a voice mail message is not your thing, please email us at and include the date and city of the class you are considering, as well as your phone number.
