Photography 101: Perspectives

Every photograph tells a story, and the way we choose to frame a scene can transform an ordinary image into something extraordinary. Join us for Perspectives, a photography workshop designed to help photographers of all skill levels discover creative ways to see and capture the world around them.
Set within the beautiful landscapes of Shinzen Friendship Garden, this hands-on class will explore how perspective influences composition, mood, and visual impact. Participants will learn techniques for finding unique viewpoints, working with depth and scale, and using the Garden’s architecture, pathways, water features, and seasonal plantings to create compelling images.
Whether you photograph with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or smartphone, you’ll gain practical skills that can immediately improve your photography and help you approach familiar subjects with fresh eyes.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced photographers alike. Whether you’re interested in nature photography, travel photography, or simply capturing better images of everyday life, you’ll leave with new techniques and creative inspiration.
