Shutterbug Christmas Lights Workshop

🌟 Salem Shutterbug After Hours: Christmas Lights Workshop

Capture the magic of the season like never before!

Join us for a festive, after-hours photography experience designed for creatives who want to master the art of shooting holiday lights. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned photographer, this workshop will help you create stunning, vibrant images filled with holiday sparkle.

Kick off the night with a visit from Shutterbug Santa—our camera-loving Santa who’s ready to spread holiday cheer and share inspiration for your shots.

We’ll dive into:

• How to get crisp, glowing light photos
• The best camera settings for low-light shooting
• Tips for bokeh, long exposure, and creative compositions
• How to make holiday lights pop straight out of the camera

Ask questions, experiment, and get hands-on guidance throughout the evening.

Share ideas, compare techniques, and spark your imagination with fellow photographers. This workshop is all about learning and building community.

You’ll have rare access to photograph the festive displays with the lights off in the store—giving you unique opportunities to play with contrast, glow, and ambient light.

If the night is clear, we’ll head downtown to explore street lights, storefront displays, and the city’s holiday atmosphere—perfect for capturing real-world Christmas magic.

This is your chance to experiment, learn, and create beautiful seasonal images in a fun, relaxed environment.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
