The PF BENTLEY DIGITAL PHOTO WORKSHOP is uniquely designed for the resort visitor on vacation for a week or more. It has been tailored to allow participants to enjoy their Hawaiian vacation while learning a new skill or fine tuning their photographic abilities, enabling them to record their tropical memories “like a pro”, and sending them home with a brand new way to remember their visit to paradise. Limited to 20 participants per session, the entire workshop is taught exclusively by Bentley who is legendary for his behind-the-scenes coverage of US Presidents, as well as rock stars and surfers. Among professional photographers, he was a pioneer in the use of digital cameras for journalism and has been recognized throughout the industry for his innovative approach to the art. The 5-day curriculum combines morning classroom instruction in comfortable, air-conditioned, fully equipped facilities ( PFB WORKSHOP supplies the camera, Apple iBook computers, and necessary software, as well as suggestions for a myriad of afternoon, outdoor Hawaiian activities that can be photographed by participants whether alone, or with friends and family.) PF will accompany interested participants to an easy and beautiful “Valley Waterfall Hike” in one of the Island's famous rainforests. Other typical “photo ops” include the internationally renowned Pacific Ocean backdrop of water and beach based activities, as well as rainforest, waterfall, volcano, and open sky “planetarium” of the Mauna Kea Observatory, which can all be arranged. Participants will go home with a slide show (with music) of their favorite images taken during the workshop. PF Bentley is an 18-year veteran of TIME Magazine's unparalleled photojournalism team, and five-time “Picture of the Year” award-winner. A graduate from the University of Hawaii's School of Education, he is currently an instructor in the Visual Journalism Department at the prestigious Brooks Institute of Photography.
