Student Work: Light and Motion – Photographing the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair

Student work from a night photography workshop at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Gaithersburg, Maryland, taught by award-winning photographer Irene Abdou

Last week, I taught a photography workshop on Light and Motion: Photographing the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair. The students and I had a great time; everyone agreed that the fair is a great subject for a photography workshop!  What better place to learn about night photography?  And of course, everyone got some great photos, so all of you, pat yourselves on the back!  Here’s a selection of some of the students’ work here.

I’ll also be posting critiques of each image on a private viewing site – students, you’ll be getting an invitation from me this coming week to view the site!

I didn’t take any photos myself during the workshop, as I wanted to focus on the students, but I was able to head back to the fair for two hours last night before getting scared off by the beginnings of a drizzle.  I’ll post a selection of my own fair photography soon…
