I recently taught my lightbox flower workshop at Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions, and it sold out.
I understand why it draws people. A lightbox lets you photograph flowers at home, in any season, with no wind and no waiting for good light. Backlit from below, the petals glow, and every vein and fold of the flower shows. It’s the same approach I used for the images in Creative Flower Photography with Lightbox, and you can see more of the series in my Lightbox gallery.
The ideal format
The time slot at the conference was short, and I wished I’d had another hour to an hour and a half. That extra time is what would let participants:
Set up their lightbox and arrange their flowers without rushing.
Spend longer shooting, with more one-on-one help.
Get a full look at how I process the images.
Have room for questions and for feedback on their own images.
If your camera club, school or photography store would like this workshop, I’d love to hear from you. I can adapt the length to your group, and a longer session lets us go much further. Contact me here.
