What's On in Cannon Beach

Join Pro Photo Supply and Sony Artisan, Thibault Roland, for a 2-part, long-exposure photography workshop! Photography has the power to freeze time, to capture the world and reality. In most people’s minds, photography has to be truthful to reality. It has to depict a scene, atmosphere, or event accurately. But photography is so much more than a simple tool to document our lives… Photography is also a way to express ourselves and our point of view, to share our messages. Photography allows us to change what we see based on our emotions and intent. Photography can be abstract and minimalistic. Photography is art. Long exposure is a technique that embraces this mindset: it transforms reality into something else, into a dialogue between the artist, the subject, and the viewer. By stretching the time used to capture a single image, the photographer includes movement in their art: water becomes smooth, clouds create long silky streaks, trees blur out in the wind... the effects are endless. Led by Sony Artisan of Imagery, Thibault Roland, this event consists of two sessions. The first session is a virtual lecture on long exposure, during which you will learn the process and what equipment you need to create breathtaking images using this unique technique. If you are not able to join this virtual session, it will be recorded and provided to all registered attendees. The second part of this event consists of a half-day, hands-on workshop at Cannon Beach, where you will have the opportunity to capture beautiful long-exposure images and benefit from Thibault's in-person advice to take your skills to the next level.
