Long Exposure + Infrared Photography Workshop at Franklin Falls

We are taking a field trip to Franklin Falls with Fine Art Photographer Thibault Roland, in a hands-on workshop. This location is perfect to create unique-looking and breathtaking images of some the most iconic waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest, all the while learning the amazing technique of long exposure. Thibault will also demonstrate infrared and teach it to those who are interested, time permitting. Additionally, if time permits, we will spot at the famous Snoqualmie Falls and take images from the upper landing.

Don't miss this great opportunity to learn new skills from Fine Art Photographer Thibault Roland, and take your imagery to the next level!!!

Why long exposure?

Photography has the power to freeze time, to capture the world and reality. In most people’s minds photography has to be truthful to reality. It has to depict a scene, atmosphere, and event accurately. But photography is so much more than a simple tool to document our lives.

It is also a way to express ourselves, our point of view, to share our messages. Photography is art. Photography can be abstract and minimalistic. It allows us to change what we see based on our emotions and intent.

Long exposure is a technique that embraces this approach: it transforms reality into something else, into a dialogue between the artist, the subject and viewer. By stretching the time used to capture a single image, the photographer includes movement in their art: water becomes smooth, clouds create long silky streaks, trees blur out in the wind... the effects are endless. Long exposure is a different mindset. One that comes from within and uses what is out there in order to produce unique and breathtaking images. Images that go beyond documenting and bridge into the Fine Arts.
