Seasonal Changes Through Your Lens

Each month, capture the beauty of the changing seasons, and build skills through hands-on guidance, creative exploration, and supportive feedback. 

Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your technique, this monthly session is the perfect place to grow your skills and connect with fellow photography enthusiasts. Join professional photographer Steve McGrath for a relaxed, hands-on session where you’ll explore the Garden and Conservatories through your lens.

Each month, the group will focus on 3–4 areas of the Garden, using natural light, seasonal colour, and changing textures as creative inspiration. Steve provides individualized guidance tailored to your camera or smartphone, helping you better understand your equipment and elevate your work. You'll have time to take photos, ask questions, exchange tips, and receive feedback from both Steve and fellow participants.

    

All experience levels and equipment types are welcome. Sign up for one session or come monthly to see how your perspective—and your photography—evolves with the seasons.
