Visiting Teachers at The Yarnery

Photo Workshop Evening
with Gale Zucker
Thursday, July 23 or Friday, July 24
6:00-8:30 pm


Gale Zucker, a professional photographer, fiber enthusiast and friend to our own Mary Lou Egan, has developed a 2.5 hour photography workshop for knitters, knit bloggers and fiber lovers. This hands-on workshop is for anyone who wants to improve their digital photography of fiber related projects, and the world around them, and for making the images look as wonderful as possible on a website or blog.

Topics to be covered

· Photographing yarn and fiber and finished objects, both on & off people.

· Simple lighting tricks and solutions to fiber & knitwear photography problems.

· Optimizing your images once they're out of the camera and into a blog page or website.
