Ski Photography Workshop Will Sharpen Your Skillsit takes to do it right,” The OVBA, in partnership with Ryan Thompson of Faceshots! Photography and Snowbasin, is pleased to announce that a two-day ski photography workshop will be held March 15 and 16. This in-depth photography workshop of indoor and outdoor sessions will take attendees’ winter sports photography to the next level, with skills applicable to all types of adventure photography. Ryan Thompson will conduct this workshop, meeting indoors at Harley & Buck’s in Eden for the afternoon of March 15 (dinner included), and outdoors on March 16 on the slopes of Snowbasin Resort (lift ticket included), followed by additional class work and critique of your photographs. “I am excited to be teaching this class and share the knowledge I have gained over the past 15 years of winter sports photography and what says Ryan. It is recommended that attendees own and have at least a basic working knowledge of a digital SLR camera, and be able to ski or snowboard a variety of terrain at Snowbasin Resort. A former student of Thompson’s said, “Ryan Thompson has an eye for detail that not only captures powerful images, it captures the story within those images. He breaks down the elements of effective photography into a series of simple processes that students can understand and apply, personally and professionally. He puts students and photo subjects at ease, bringing out the very best in both.” Details about the class and registration are available at www.visitogdenvalley.com/utah-photographyworkshops or scan the QR code.
