Capture the quiet, dramatic tonal contrast of the winter landscape with exclusive photography access in our Gardens.

Start your experience with an online orientation with expert photographer Michael Froio as he discusses techniques and important considerations for photographing landscapes in black and white. Then, enjoy an in-person photography session—starting two hours before we open to guests—with Froio throughout our Gardens. Cap off the experience with an online feedback session—and a lot more knowledge about this artistic medium.
