Photography Class: Composition in the Field - The Holden Arboretum
Practice composition skills in this photography class in Cleveland’s Holden Arboretum!
Guided by a seasoned photographer, you’ll explore framing, perspective and balance using the arboretum’s winding trails, dramatic trees and seasonal gardens as your creative playground. An educational lecture highlights key concepts like rule of thirds and leading lines, while hands-on practice with your DSLR or mirrorless camera encourages you to experiment with depth, reflections and the interplay of color and texture.
Capture the symmetry of boardwalk paths cutting through wetlands, the graceful arc of bridges or the way light dances across wildflowers. From sweeping landscapes to intimate close-ups, every scene offers a chance to refine your eye for storytelling. With its ever-changing natural beauty, Holden Arboretum provides the perfect setting to elevate your composition skills in a fun, engaging way.

Richard patiently walked us through the steps and gave great instruction. I finally know how to navigate my camera that I've been using on auto for ten years. I'd definitely recommend this course to others
