Photography Workshops - Now Available!

Hudson Valley Photographer, Robert Rodriguez Jr will be conducting a series of photography workshops in the Hudson Valley.  The workshops are divided into field and classroom sessions. "Photography is the language of light, color, shape, texture, and emotion. Your ability to learn and use this language effectively is the basis of how I approach each Beyond the Lens workshop," says Robert.
Robert is a highly respected educator in all aspects of  landscape photography including field work, digital printing and editing. If you are serious about your photographic potential, then his workshops will provide you with the ideas, concepts, and inspiration that make any camera a tool of true creativity.
