If you want to pass it along to the other folks or post it on your site that’d be great as I’m always looking to get the talent in Alberta recognized (and beat the East)!
The Calgary Zoo is hosting a garden photography workshop in early August.
"A garden is a setting for what can be an intensely personal aesthetic and even spiritual experience, in fact this is the intended result of a well-designed garden. Can this be faithfully represented in an image? This is the goal of learning to see as a garden photographer."
Allan’s course last summer was a big hit, so this year’s program is expanded to allow for even more time for photo shoots and critique. In this workshop you will learn step-by-step how to see a garden. With an emphasis on composition and hands-on instruction in the field, you will put your new way of seeing into practice in the gardens of the Calgary Zoo, as well as a selection of public and private gardens.
This course assumes participants are comfortable with the operation of their camera. Please bring your camera (digital is preferred) and tripod to each of the photo shoots. Off-site visits will be discussed and details provided at the Friday evening lecture. Car-pooling may be an option.
Allan Mandell is an award-winning professional garden photographer whose images are published internationally in magazines and books. For a sample of his portfolio, visit www.gardenphotographer.com.
