About this FieldTrip
One of our Muses is in town and we’re so excited to host this workshop. Ally Schmaling (they) is a nonbinary portrait photographer based in Boston, MA and is dedicated to the documentation and elevation of queer and gender-expansive communities in their art. Their painterly work aims to express the most dynamic, unapologetic, and expansive “them-ness” of their subjects.
Using color, light, and shape as their primary tools, Ally will lead a truly unique, hands-on photography workshop focused on shooting portraiture that details nontraditional lighting techniques, thought-provoking composition, and tips on how to engage photographic subjects in a way that is, above all else, authentic. Expect this workshop to color outside of the lines.
Required: Bring a camera for this one (an iPhone is fine!) and a sense of curiosity!
Dress to express your inner Muse. Everyone is Welcome, Everyone is Creative!

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
Not vibing?
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
