- Program: "The City As Art: Night Photography" - There’s something magical about photographing the city at night. The glow of the city lights, the streaks of cars, silhouettes, and shadows all add to the mystery and atmosphere of city photography. In this presentation Chris Smith shows you the ins and outs of night photography in the city. You’ll learn the equipment, techniques, and skills necessary for successful night photography. Chris will also demonstrate the techniques he uses in Lightroom and Photoshop to turn a blah night image into a wow image. Chris specializes in photographing the city of Chicago at night. He is the founder of Out of Chicago Photography, author of The Photographer’s Guide to Chicago and host of the Out of Chicago Photography Podcast. You can see his work at csmithchicago.com and follow him on Instagram as @csmithchicago. On Wed, Mar 6th, Chris will also lead a night photo walk around the University of Michigan Campus (weather permitting). More details will be provided soon.
