Design and Space

Lesson 1

Think Like a Gardener series

The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshops

Every garden has a theme, whether accidental or purposeful, well-maintained or messy. The garden fits into its surroundings, and that fit is the design — how it occupies the space it lives in. Design is a big part of the story of any good garden photograph. Design and Space is the first lesson in the THINK LIKE A GARDENER series: a collection of exercises designed to extend the photographer's perception of garden design to finding themes and telling stories. The THINK LIKE A GARDENER series is part three of the 4-part PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshop. There are six easy to follow lessons in each series.

Hardscape

Lesson 2

Think Like a Gardener series

The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshops

Hardscape is what physically defines a garden — the bones. For landscape architects, it is the frame upon which the plants are draped; look for it as you consciously compose your picture. Hardscape is the second lesson in the THINK LIKE A GARDENER series: a collection of exercises designed to extend the photographer's perception of garden design to finding themes and telling stories.

Weather, Moods, and Seasons

Lesson 3

Think Like a Gardener series

The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshops
To a gardener, it may seem obvious that daffodils suggest spring, roses peak in summer, apples mean autumn, and bare trees represent winter. This may be obvious to you but perhaps not to your viewer. And it may be so obvious to you that you overlook the seasonal potential for garden photography. Weather, Moods, and Seasons is the third lesson in the THINK LIKE A GARDENER series: a collection of exercises designed to extend the photographer's perception of garden design to finding themes and telling stories.

Using the Light

Lesson 4

Think Like a Gardener series

The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshops
Garden photographers must learn to avoid hot, contrasty light and understand that soft light gives a better dynamic range and rich, realistic color. Using the Light is the fourth lesson in the THINK LIKE A GARDENER series: a collection of exercises designed to extend the photographer's perception of garden design to finding themes and telling stories.

Finding a Theme

Lesson 5

Think Like a Gardener series

The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshops
When faced with the overwhelming choices in a beautiful garden, it is almost essential for garden photographers to give themselves a target, an assignment. Finding a Theme is the fifth lesson in the THINK LIKE A GARDENER series: a collection of exercises designed to extend the photographer's perception of garden design to finding themes and telling stories.

Photographing Garden Plants

Lesson 6

Think Like a Gardener series

The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshops
A photograph of a plant should be as carefully considered as was the plant when it was placed in the garden. The photo should reveal a genuine understanding of the plant in its setting. Photographing Garden Plants is the sixth lesson in the THINK LIKE A GARDENER series: a collection of exercises designed to extend the photographer's perception of garden design to finding themes and telling stories.
