Photography Workshop with Allen Rokach
How can you stretch your photographic skills from creating competent images of flowers or gardens to crafting truly great ones? Master photographer Allen Rokach will share the techniques professionals use to produce dramatic photographs of flowers and gardens. We will explore a variety of flowerbeds, water gardens, woodlands, and other settings at the Garden to learn and enhance our photographic skills at the peak of the season's bloom.

Through lectures, field and review sessions, you will receive in-depth instruction on making the best use of natural light throughout the day, mastering floral close-ups, portraying flowers in their garden setting, and understanding the technical potential of digital cameras. Students must bring their digital cameras and laptops for the field and review sessions. Morning refreshments will be included; lunches will be on your own. Registration fee includes the July 24 evening lecture. To view examples of Allen's work, please visit www.allenrokach.com.
