Celebrating the Art of Photography...
Welcome to the Griffin Museum of Photography, a nonprofit organization dedicated solely
to the art of photography. Through our many exhibitions, programs and lectures, we strive
to encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social
impact of photographic art.
At the Griffin Museum, you will find exhibitions from well-known photographers to those
emerging on the scene that explore important themes and thought-provoking ideas. All of
our exhibitions and programs are designed to encourage the passionate exploration of the
art of photography.

PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE
A 3-day workshop in the streets of Boston with photographer Harvey Stein
DATE: June 8 through June 10, 2012
TIME: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
PRICE: $350.00 MEMBERS (purchase on-line)
$450.00 NONMEMBERS (purchase on-line)
The Griffin Museum invites you to join renowned photographer Harvey Stein for a three-day
workshop designed to help you photograph people. This three-day workshop will focus on the
techniques and insights needed to make meaningful images of people. We will consider the
variety of ways to photograph individuals, including friends, family, and strangers in such
diverse settings as the home, the street and in work situations. The workshop will also explore
ways of organizing environmental elements to make persuasive statements of and about people.
Key topics include ways of capturing character, methods of approaching and photographing
strangers, the use of light (both natural and flash) as an expressive and aesthetic element of
the photograph and techniques of posing and interacting with subjects. The workshop will be
presented in lectures, demonstrations, and photographic field trips to various local areas in and
around Boston where people congregate.
Those who are intrigued by the variety, psychology, and social interactions of people and who
want to capture these elements photographically will benefit from this workshop.
