SOPF was formed in January 2007 by eight photographers and has grown to a membership of 21. An organization of fine art photographers, SOPF was established to encourage and support individuals in achieving their photographic goals and to promote an appreciation of photography in our community.  Members share a love for the medium of photography & the power images have to evoke strong emotional responses.

Through Ashland Artisan Gallery and Art Center I am offering an outdoor fall photography workshop on Saturday, October 25 2008 from 9-12 AM. I will meet participants at Ashland Artisan Gallery before we depart on a walking photography tour of the fall scenery in downtown Ashland and Lithia Park with the goal of photographing fall colors and themes, landscapes and abstracts.  I will offer my personal experience and knowledge on lighting, composition, texture color, technical settings and artistic vision.  It should be a fun and casual morning of photography in a beautiful setting to learn and improve.

The workshop is open to all photography enthusiasts with basic photography knowledge, a camera and a tripod.  The Art Center is able to make this workshop available for only $30.  The workshop has space for 10 participants, so call or stop by the gallery early to reserve your spot.  You can call Ashland Artisan Gallery at 488-5698 or come by at 163 East Main Street across from the Varsity Theater in Ashland.  For more information please contact me at sean@outdoorexposurephoto.com or 840-9237.
