With
more than 10 years of teaching experience at Claude Monet’s Garden in
Giverny, Needle will introduce participating guests to the art of
expressive and painterly photography using nothing more than a digital
camera or smartphone and Mirbeau’s Monet-reminiscent gardens as a color
palette. The two-day photography retreat will take place from July
13-15, with a focus on capturing striking images of flowers that compel
guests to look beyond shapes and into the essence of each subject. The
workshop begins with an orientation and cocktail reception upon arrival
on Monday, July 13, and throughout the workshop, participants will enjoy
a series of photoshoot sessions with one-on-one instruction, immersive
lectures about macro and impressionistic photography, group image
evaluations and Q&As.
