Flower photography class at Harper College

Learn how to transform your flower photos into dynamic, colorful works of art with upcoming class at Harper College

A suburban photographer for many years, I am teaching a class in flower photography starting April 4 at Harper College in Palatine.

In Flower Photography (LEI 0446-001) you will learn new composition techniques, macro photography, equipment tips and post production tools needed to transform ordinary flower images into dynamic works of art.

The course also will include instructor-led photo shoots at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe at which students will be able to put into play the techniques taught in class.
