Union Station

Time: 10am to 1pm

with DPA Instructor Jimmy Fikes

$99

 Union Station was completed in 1939 -- a masterpiece of Spanish Revival and art deco.  Today, its breathtaking architecture and ornate details welcome not only trains, but also visitors who gawk at the 50-foot ceilings, brides and grooms who wed in the "Last of the Great Railway Stations," and production crews who hope to travel back to the '30s.  The splendid artistry at Union Station offers something to amaze everyone.  Join your Digital Photo Academy instructor Jimmy Fikes to photograph a piece of history that continues to evolve with LA's modern environment.

You will photograph side-by-side with Jimmy to learn the secrets of professional photographers and develop your own compositional techniques.  You will learn new strategies to shoot in low-lit areas, capture the details and colors of architectural wonders, and use crowds to accent the importance of unique sites.
