Join acclaimed floral photographer Seamus A Ryan at his home for a one day masterclass.
Additional dates will be announced closer to each flowering season.
Spend the day learning to take photographs in the garden, you will learn how to control light with reflectors, whether macro photography is for you and then we will take some flowers indoors and create beautiful still life images. There is very little extra gear you need for this course, a tripod can be advantageous but not necessary. If you don't have a Macro lens you can use Seamus's camera and macro lens on a tripod just to try it out. To finish off Seamus will show you some basic editing in Lightroom to finish your images and print 2 A3 prints for you to take away. Additional prints can be done on the day or later on and shipped to you.
Most of the following images were created in our garden but others, mainly the exotics and structures are from RHS and private gardens, we wish they were all in our garden.
Lunch is provided, with drinks and nibbles available throughout the day.
If you would like Seamus to come to your garden to teach please contact us.
