Workshop: Photography in the Gardens at The Ford House

Join award-winning botanical photographer Laurie Tennent for a two-session flower photography workshop using the vibrant gardens at Ford House as inspiration. Tennent will help you with photo composition, framing, camera angles, selective focus, and exposure. She will also share some of her unique personal photography techniques.

All levels of photography experience are welcome. Session #1 of this workshop (July 18) will be instructional. In Session #2 (July 25), Laurie will look over, discuss, and provide feedback on the photos participants have taken during the week in between the workshops. This workshop will be online using the Zoom platform; however, all participants will be given a pass to visit the estate during the week between sessions to take their photos.
