Coming this June: Photography Workshops with Lawrence R. Nicoll

Lawrence-Nicoll

Lawrence R. Nicoll is a maritime landscape photographer whose work is part of many personal and corporate collections.

Lawrence was the featured photographer at the 2010 Sandpiper Festival in Dorchester, N.B., is a member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals), and is currently shooting images for the Chignecto Parks System. His photographs have been published in magazines such as Saltscapes, Toronto Life, Intrepid and Driver, used by Newfoundland Tourism, turned into huge murals at the Fundy Geological Museum, and shown on Global Maritimes TV. To see his work, visit his website.

Lawrence spent his youth in fields, forests, rivers and creeks and has always been astounded at the beauty so many take for granted. For over 30 years he has been striving to capture and share his appreciation of the natural world through photography. In the late 70’s Lawrence began teaching courses and finds instructing others a rewarding way to pass on his enthusiasm and knowledge. Since 2000 he has provided graphics and fire training to firefighters and, since retiring to Nova Scotia in 2008, he has given a number of general photography and photoshop courses. 

In cooperation with Main & Station Nonesuch Kickshaws, this June Lawrence will be teaching three photography workshops. Whether you simply want to become better acquainted with the basics of digital photography or whether you are looking for some guided shooting experience in the field, there is a course for you. Click on the links below or visit the Workshop page for full course descriptions and information on how to register:

Weekend Photo Seminar – This full weekend workshop includes classroom instruction, a location shoot and an in class critique and discussion.

Mini Photography Workshop – The mini workshop includes a Friday evening meet & greet with a brief discussion of composition fundamentals which is followed on Saturday by an all day guided location shoot from Parrsboro to Apple River.

Digital Photography Course (2 hours per evening over 4 evenings: June 3, 5, 10 & 12) Aimed at beginner to intermediate photographers, this course is for those who are interested in learning to improve their skills and gain a better understanding of both photography and their camera. Automatic settings will be covered but those with camera settings such as A/Av & S/Tv (for Aperture and Shutter control) will receive the most benefit.

We will host an exhibition of student photographs in the fall.

Each student will be invited to show some work.

Photoshop courses are also available. Please send us an email if you are interested and we will schedule a course if there is enough demand.
