Location: GWU Ashburn Campus, Exploration Hall – Lecture Room
Our speaker for February 11 is Patty Hankins, and her topic is “Secrets of Great Flower Photography.
Patty is a flower and landscape photographer in the Washington, DC area, and is the author of “Wildflower Meditations: A Gift for the Spirit,” which features 90 of her photographs of wildflowers and 90 inspirational quotations. She was recently described as one of the most professional fine art floral photographers- when she was ranked #1 on TopTenly’s list of the Top 10 Best Macro Photographers in the World. She leads several photography workshops and photo tours each year including flower photography, landscape photography, and photo editing. Patty will be sharing tips for taking âfabulous” photographs of flowers, discussing photographic techniques for shooting in gardens and in the wild, and focusing on things to think about before creating your photos, a bit on gear, and how general rules of photography apply to flowers as a subject. A few photos appear below; you can see more of Patty’s work at BeautifulFlowerPictures.com.
