Join professional photographer Andy Bale and spend an exclusive morning in the Gardens capturing the striking architectural beauty found throughout.
From the lines of the Peirce-du Pont House—one of the oldest buildings at Longwood—to the soaring grandeur of the new West Conservatory, unique and beautiful architecture has always been central to the Longwood experience. For photographers, both novice and expert, it’s the perfect subject.
This in-person experience is preceded by an online orientation where you’ll learn top tips to maximize your architectural shots. Meet after the onsite shoot for an online critique where you’ll receive feedback and share thoughts about your peers’ work.
