ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASSICAL ITALIANATE AND AWARD-WINNING GARDENS IN BRITAIN WITH BOARDERS BY ARNE MAYNARD

Come spend a day with me on a BEAUTIFUL IMMERSIVE PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHY DAY in the stunning historical gardens of RENISHAW HALL nestled in rural Derbyshire with glorious views into the countryside. A light luncheon will be served at a curated table with a floral centrepiece by Fine Art Floral Stylist ????? in Renishaw's beautiful courtyard function room.
I have a passion for sharing my knowledge and experience, plus teaching those who want to learn about photographing gardens and flowers. With the emphasis on slowing down, enjoying being behind the camera or camera-phone, shooting with intentionality, and immersing in the beautiful gardens of Renishaw Hall with likeminded people.
Open to everyone with a creative spirit, a passion for immersing in stunning gardens with a camera or phone camera, and a desire to increase their success rate, or struggles to create pleasing or reasonable results.
