One Day Workshop
 in 
Fine Art Flower Photography

Do you love the beauty of flowers and also love to photograph them, but you fell like your photographs don't capture the true and full beauty of the flower? If this is how you fell, then this class is definitely for you. This workshop is designed to help the photographer fine tune their skills in outdoor and indoor flower photography. This workshop will help make your flower pictures go from snapshots to true pieces of art.

9:00-11:00 Meet at the school and then go out on location and take photographs with your 35mm SLR Camera and color negative film or your Digital Camera and digital recording medium. This segment will  include outdoor lighting techniques using reflectors and diffusers. Learn how to use studio backdrops outside and tricks to make your images unique. This will also cover how to compose your subjects, what backgrounds to avoid, and  how to select the best light for your subject. You will also learn how to use the gray card or incident light meters for perfectly exposed images.
11:00-12:30 Learn studio techniques for doing high and low key lighting on flowers. Use backlighting to enhance the look of the flower.
