Field Photography Workshop, Bellamy-Ferriday House and Gardens

Go Back

Bethlehem, CT

Spring review and refresher.  Back to basics and your photography factory reset.  New beginnings and a fresh new start for your photography skills.

The gardens at Bellamy-Ferriday House in Bethlehem will provide a smorgasbord of photography subjects to practice on.  There will be Arts Escape students painting in the gardens as well as flowers, macro photography, landscapes and architecture.  The late afternoon lighting should make for great photos and the relaxed and peaceful environment will be a welcome break from the noise and ruckus of the world. 

This is a great class to attend if you are feeling a bit rusty and out of practice, or if you are having trouble getting the results that you are trying to achieve. At the same time all levels of photographers are welcome as there will be lots to learn and photograph.
