Mystical Matches - Photo Workshop

Come hang with Lyon for a 2-hour photography workshop where the only requirement is a phone camera and a willingness to look at stuff. You'll learn fundamental photography techniques, how to notice patterns when walking around the city, and connect with fellow creatives—no experience necessary.
No art degree needed. No fancy camera needed. If you can take a decent photo of your lunch, you're already qualified.

Lyon is a Baltimore-based teacher, designer, and photographer, inspired by his childhood in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He teaches motion graphics, 3D design, and special effects at the (MICA) Maryland Institute College of Art and (BSA) Baltimore School for the Arts. Growing up in Amsterdam, he learned to notice social interactions on the streets, a practice he continues in Baltimore during his daily commute. He exhibits regularly and is an active member of Baltimore's robust photography community.

Limited to 8 participants, tickets $35 (Drink Included).

This an ongoing workshop series with upcoming dates scheduled at Meander Art Bar in Upper Fells Point and Creative Alliance in Highlandtown. Subsscribe to Lyon's email newsletter to stay up to date.
