Find the Photo with Saxon Holt

Find the Photo with Saxon Holt

Presented by Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens at Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

Learn how to look at a beautiful garden (such as MCBG) and decide what to photograph and how to frame it.

A photographer can be easily overwhelmed in the middle of a beautiful garden, coming away with just snapshots that are little more than reminders you were there. This happens to all photographers in the rush of excitement coming into beautiful places. Let the camera help you, and learn a few tricks on detailing what you see into distinctive stories in this lecture “Find the Photo”.

Building on his Think Like A Camera e-book and workshops, Saxon will use his photos from MCBG to illustrate composition, points of view, and telling stories with any camera.
