In this fun, hands-on class you'll spend the weekend exploring the macabre side of Portland with photographer Susan Bein. The class will begin Friday night with a special-access, after-hours shoot at Oak's Amusement Park. With Susan's inspiring guidance, you'll learn all about her blur and light painting techniques as you roam the park with your camera.

On Saturday, you'll head out to Sauvie Island to photograph the historic Bybee Howell house - the perfect location for ghostly haunted house images. The trip wouldn't be complete without a dash of creative flair - trip leader Susan Bein will have masks and costumes on hand - perfect fodder for some truly unusual images. Susan's unique perspective and sense of fun will really make this a special class for those looking to break the mold and get creative with their photography.

On Sunday, class will review work in a hands-on digital lab session. You'll learn how to add textures and layer effects, like glows and blurs, to your images to add drama and suspense. Susan will also show you how to use adjustment layers and blending modes to great effect.

Required prerequisite: Basic Photoshop or instructor's consent.

This trip will be led by Susan Bein.

This trip is a Halloween homage to macabre photographer extraordinaire Ralph Eugene Meatyard.

You'll also get to explore a creepy old cemetery and the beautiful landscapes near the Rogue River and Siskiyou Mountains. The trip wouldn't be complete without a dash of Meatyard flair - trip leader Susan Bein will have creepy masks and costumes on hand - perfect fodder for some truly unusual images. Participants are also highly encouraged to bring costumes and props to play with in the field. Susan's inspiring guidance and sense of fun will really make this a special trip for those looking to break out of the mold and get creative with photography.
