Edmonton Macro Photography Class
Intensive Weekend Workshop
Presented by the Burwell School of Photography
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Mar 10 - 11, 2012
Join Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine contributing editor and professional photographer, Paul Burwell, for a many-faceted workshop that will immerse you into the world of macro photography. We’ll spend the entire weekend together helping you learn about the aspects of macro photography necessary to produce compelling and well composed images. We’ll discuss the equipment the pros use, technical skills necessary to produce captivating images, learning to find macro photography opportunities, developing a creative vision to separate your photos from the average, choosing the right digital darkroom tools and techniques for selling your images.
This intensive weekend course isn't just about you listening to an instructor drone on and on, its about you getting an opportunity to try out some of the techniques discussed using your own digital camera with macro capabilities or a camera with a macro lens. Paul will be with you every step of the way to help you come away with the best possible images.

Hosted By
Burwell School of Photography
The Burwell School of Photography was founded in 2007 as a division of Paul Burwell Photography.
Paul Burwell is a world renowned professional photographer, writer, educator and enthusiastic naturalist with over twenty years experience working with and educating adults. Paul woke up some years ago to discover the Internet company he’d built from the ground up was sold and it was time to find something else to do with his life.
Before leaving a 20 year career in the computer world, Paul was the President of an Internet service provider. While working on business plans for a new Internet company, he investigated becoming a professional nature photographer and quickly discovered that it was almost impossible to make a living as one. Naturally, he immediately dropped his plans for Internet dominance, sold his house and most of his earthly possessions and decided to take a vow of poverty as a photographer, and he’s never been happier.
Now Paul has built a career in the world of nature photography with a passion for wildlife. He is a contributing editor and regular columnist with Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine and a photography instructor at Metro Continuing College in Edmonton. Paul has been a finalist in the Veolia ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’ worldwide competition both in 2009 and 2010 and was named “a top wildlife shooter” by Popular Photography Magazine in 2010. Paul conducts a number of photography workshops each year to rave reviews through his company, the Burwell School of Photography.
