Still Life Workshop



The event will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Second session 12:30 to 2:30

From traditional to whimsical, everyone will have the opportunity to photograph still life set-ups and practice composition and lighting to make wonderful images. Join us for a fun hands-on workshop about everything still life. Program leaders Betsy Wilson, Carol DeGuiseppi and Ginia Apostolacus will start with a short presentation covering the basics of how to set-up and photograph your still life, along with some inspirational examples to get the creative juices flowing.  Everyone can experiment with creating your own still lifes using a wide variety of table-top items to arrange and light as you wish.  Space is limited, so be sure to register early!
