Thursday, June 26, 2:00 pm Eastern – Photographing for Gardening with Nature at the New York Botanical Garden, Online
Larry Lederman and Todd Forest will present a webinar on June 26 at 2 pm Eastern with The Garden Conservancy, In Larry’s words: “When I walk into a garden, I am looking for a sense of place. My photography has to capture this sense and reveal the intentionality of the maker of that garden. Setting the composition through framing the view, sometimes as the designer intended, and sometimes as I see it in a particular light and time of day. All gardens present differently through their seasonal life cycles. A portrait may need many visits to discover the inherent beauty of a living landscape.
In Gardening with Nature at the New York Botanical Garden I had a partner in Todd Forrest, Arthur Ross Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections at the Garden. This book, my third at the NYBG, was to display the multigenerational achievement that is the NYBG. These photographs celebrate the horticultural gift that Todd Forrest, the team of gardeners, and the original founders intended. The gardens are my portal to the natural world. The lyricism of my photographs is in the capture of the vitality of the native plants bathed in the light of the magnificent trees. I will discuss all of this and my approach, the equipment I choose, and the editing software which helps me keep track of the thousands of images that result in a book like Gardening with Nature.”
The event is live on Zoom, $5 members, $15 nonmembers, and there is a special offer for purchasing the book through the registration page here. To register for the webinar only click here.
