Photography Class: Composition in the Field - Bartram's Garden
Capture the beauty of Philadelphia's oldest botanical gardens in this fun photography class in Bartram's Garden.
This is your opportunity to learn about composition techniques in a lively, hands-on session. Your session begins with a detailed lecture that covers everything you need to know about composition. Then, you'll move into the field for hands-on practice under the guidance of a skilled photographer. Nestled along the Schuylkill River, this historic landscape is filled with winding garden paths, vibrant wildflowers and tranquil waterfront views—ideal for mastering techniques like the rule of thirds, leading lines and framing. In this photography class, you’ll learn how to use foreground elements to add depth, balance light and shadow for dynamic images and incorporate symmetry found in the garden’s aged stone structures and magnificent, lush greenery. The gentle curves of the river, the textures of ancient trees and the bursts of seasonal blooms provide endless opportunities to practice your skills. You'll unleash new creative abilities and learn about storytelling through your lens as a beginner or advanced student.
