Photography for Gardeners

3 Classes in August: The Saturday morning & Monday evening class will be a repeat of the same class. Garden Photography for Smartphone Users will be held on Tuesday evening.

These days cameras can do amazing things, and yet a good camera cannot take a good picture without a person behind it. Join Dan Jaffe Wilder, author and photographer of Native Plants for New England Gardens and Ecological Horticulturalist at Norcross Wildlife Foundation, for a crash course on garden photography. While many classes focus on camera specs and technologies, Dan prefers to focus on the person behind the camera. Learn to frame your shots and play with landscape angles, work with light and movement and pay special attention to your backgrounds. With these skills and others, everyone can become a good photographer no matter what sort of camera you are working with. Participants will need to bring their own camera that they know how to use. For the Tuesday evening class, participants will need a smartphone.

This class will be held in person at the Arboretum.

Registration is required.
