Venue Description:

The Mission Statement for the Reading Terminal Market seems as if it was written with the photographer in mind. It reads:
“To preserve the architectural and historical character, and function, of the Reading Terminal Market as an urban farmers’ market. To provide a wide variety of produce, meat, fish, bakery and dairy products…to maintain an environment that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of our citizens and fosters their interaction.”

Be prepared to capture the old-world charm of the 82-year-old structure of Reading Terminal Market, inside and out, as well as even older buildings within walking distance. Inside, you’ll find picturesque environmental portraits of farmers selling their merchandise, as well as vibrant displays of fruits, produce, and other colorful items perfect for still-life photography, abstractions, and portfolio-worthy images.

Your instructor will share insights on dynamic ways to showcase the architecture and offer tips for making portraits that tell an elaborate story dating back to the late 17th century when farmers and fishermen first brought their goods from South Jersey.
