“Capture the Moment” Photography Workshop with Teresa Forte
The Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens is pleased to host a special photography workshop, directed by garden photographer Theresa Forte. Packed with practical advice for both novice and experienced camera enthusiasts, this hands-on workshop will encourage you to ‘see’ interesting compositions and take better pictures with the camera you already have.
The workshop will teach the basic mechanics of good photography, different aspects of lighting and train participants to “think like an artist” no matter what type of camera they use. Illustrated with images from some of North America’s top public and private gardens, Forte’s light-hearted approach will inspire you to create pictures you’ll be proud to show off. Outdoor clothing/footwear is required, and participants are encouraged to bring their own bagged lunch and refillable water bottles. Whether you own a Digital SLR or just a smartphone camera, you do not want to miss this event. Click for more information
