Queer Photography with Nikki Smith: New England (Waitlist)


Queer Photography with Nikki Smith: New England (Waitlist)

September 3-4, 2022

Are you an avid photographer? Or just looking to catch that next great outdoor shot on your iPhone? Returning by popular demand, this class has something for everyone! You'll go outside with professional photographer Nikki Smith (www.pullphotography.com) to begin to learn how to see the world differently. What makes a great photo? What types of angles and vantage points lead to that coveted shot? From camera phones to DSLR's, join us and Nikki Smith in a stellar collaboration with Marmot to learn the basics of composition, tips, and tricks to strengthen and improve your photos, and how to make your friends look like heroes. Nikki's photo seminar is open to everyone regardless of their camera.

*Folks without cameras are encouraged to join us on this adventure - phone cameras work great!

This event is hosted by TVOP and Nikki Smith, sponsored by Marmot. For nearly two decades, Nikki Smith’s photography has appeared in many outdoor publications; as well as in ads, catalogs, and websites for many climbing companies, and she is a National Geographic Adventure contributing photographer.

What are TVOP Frontcountry events?

Frontcountry events - a new project from The Venture Out Project - take place solely at BCBF and are a great option for folks who prefer warm beds, stocked kitchens, and relative closeness to flushable toilets. Our frontcountry events focus on community and skill-building outside of backcountry settings.

Why does this trip cost money?
We do our best to keep our trips affordable, but the reality is there are a lot of costs associated with leading an outdoor trip. This includes, but is not limited to: permits, camping fees, insurance, workers’ comp, gear depreciation, instructor compensation (all of our instructors are queer), food (including accommodations for special diets), and more. Scholarships are available to any participant for whom cost is a barrier.
