Join Bruce Byers for 2 1/2 days in the historical town of Old Lyme, CT. We will stay at the Old Lyme Inn and photograph in the historical town and along the seashore of Long Island Sound. With camera in hand or, even your cell phone, Bruce will help you bring your photography to the next level. Bruce has been behind the camera for over 35 years, walking the streets of the USA and the world. He will be very hands on to make you feel comfortable with your equipment and to allowing you to create memorable photographs.

This workshop is for all levels of photographers and those interested in photography.

There will be a good deal of one-on-one work along with responding to Bruce’s prompts and he will help you develop them. Each day will be filled with creating, sharing images we all created and photography talks. 

As head photographer and owner of Camera Odysseys, Bruce has guided and taught photographers of all levels to “See with their eyes and capture with their cameras” and have lots of fun doing it.
