Garden Photography Talk
hosted by the SILVER SPRING GARDEN CLUB
"Beyond the Garden Gate"
Gardeners can preserve nature’s beauty by creating stunning photos of
their garden. Take a walk along the garden path with Josh and discover
the surprises that await the visitor. To the casual garden visitor, the
hidden beauty in plants, the natural landscape, and man-made objects
are often overlooked for the obvious. Gardeners will improve their
observational skills and learn basic photographic techniques that will
lift their flower and garden photographs to a higher level. Regardless
of photographic skills, this presentation will inspire gardeners to see
and create striking photographs worthy of showing, sharing, and selling.
This program will appeal to non-photographers too.
Our program speaker Joshua Taylor, Jr. of Joshua Taylor Photography has
presented photography workshops at the Smithsonian National Orchid
Show, U.S. National Arboretum, U.S. Botanic Garden, Brookside Gardens,
Sarah P. Duke Gardens, American Horticultural Society Garden School,
Adkins Arboretum, and Longwood Gardens. In addition to being a Canon
Camera instructor at Ace Photo, Josh speaks at camera and garden clubs,
judges photographic competitions, and exhibits his photographs in
gallery shows. He is a member of Garden Writers Association, National
Association of Photoshop Professionals, and member and past president of
the Northern Virginia Photographic Society. Josh was voted best garden
club speaker in 2005 and was a judge for the 2009 Garden Writers
Association National Media Awards and the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Nature
Photography Expo. Longwood Gardens selected Josh as its Instructor of
the Month (October 2010) and was a selected photographer to assist the
public in photographing Bruce Munro’s Light: Installations (2012).
