Be Prepared: Pre-Production for Adventure Photography and Film

A guided night photography walk through Minneapolis alongside Andy Best, who will teach participants how to see and shoot in low light, find compelling compositions after dark, and use the city as a landscape. Equal parts technical lesson and adventure.

Andy has spent over a decade working as a nomadic filmmaker for brands like Sony, Toyota, CamelBak, Huckberry, and some of the top outdoor brands in the world, alongside tourism boards across the globe and his own documentary work. Often operating alone in remote places with no margin for error, he has learned that the most important creative decisions happen long before the camera comes out. In this masterclass, he walks through how he researches locations, anticipates variables, builds shot lists, and sets a production up to succeed before a single frame is captured.
