Macro Photography Class at Phipps in Pittsburgh

Just announced: I’ll be teaching a macro photography class on June 1st at Phipps Conservatory. We’re still working on the details and you’ll need to register through Phipps. This event listing will be updated as we work out all of the details.

Join me, at Phipps Conservatory this June for a two hour macro photography class. As part of Phipp’s celebration of Alice in Wonderland we’ll be peering through the looking glass and finding small things that we’ll make appear large. Come learn how to create macro photos without a macro lens, have fun playing with different close focus filters including my split diopter, and venture around the grounds where we’ll capture amazing close up photos of all the tiny details we can find.

The class will run for approx. 2 hours. However, participants can stay at Phipps through the rest of the day and continue to photograph all of the amazing plants, flowers, and everything else we can find.
