The Experience

This afternoon and evening workshop explores Dallas through three very different photographic experiences: street photography, urban architecture, and skyline/moonrise photography. We’ll begin in the downtown area, working through visually rich locations such as Deep Ellum, the Arts District, Klyde Warren Park, and nearby downtown streets, focusing on gesture, light, color, murals, reflections, layering, and storytelling. As the day transitions toward sunset, we’ll move west of the Trinity River to photograph the Dallas skyline with long lenses as the full moon rises behind the buildings, then continue into blue hour and night for dramatic skyline images featuring downtown Dallas, Reunion Tower, and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.

What Our Students Say...

Instruction and Independence!

This was a terrific workshop whether you are a beginner or a more experienced photographer. If I needed help or had a question either David or Barry was right there. If I wanted to wander off and work on my own composition, I could do that. The perfect balance of instruction and independence.

One of the very best!

I’ve participated in a number of photographic workshops. This was one of the very best!

Taking My Photos To Another Level!

This was a great workshop for me. I learned several things that definitely help take my photos to another level.

You Walk Away Learning So Much!

I have attended several photography workshops, including with some National names – this one is a class apart. David and Barry bring their down to earth style to the workshop and you walk away learning so much – while actually taking pictures. This is a hands-on lesson – which makes it really interesting. I would absolutely do a workshop with them again.

No Matter Your Skill Level, You Won’t Be Disappointed!

Sign up for a workshop! Through the one on one coaching of David and Barry, I came away with more confidence in my ability to get great landscape and astrophotos. No matter your skill level, you won’t be disappointed.

Benton Downs meets and exceeds my expectations

My priorities for a workshop are always to see new places, especially at my age, learn something new, get feedback on my compositions in camera, get ideas for compositions or small scenes or creative ideas that I may not be seeing, meet new people, be in a small group, and offer all of that for an affordable investment. Benton Downs meets and exceeds my expectations by going above and beyond by adding in a zoom meeting before and after each workshop, by offering editing or critique advice during or after the workshop, and with their friendliness and caring about each participant. Anything else is a bonus. I would highly recommend BDW as one of the top workshop groups in the country. Thanks Barry and David!
