Loring Greenough House Surrounded by Historic Charm Inside and Outside

More than once, the August photo workshops have been canceled due to humid and very hot weather, so this time the DPA venue will allow us to hedge our bet at the Loring-Greenough House, the last surviving residence of the 1700’s in Sumner Hill of Jamaica Plains. For outdoor photo ops there is the row of majestic homes just a stone’s throw away and your instructor will demonstrate angles, composition strategies and technical tricks to compellingly capture these old world mansions. Loring-Greenough House is also a photo op, so portfolio worthy images are likely whether shooting inside, outside or both.

If Mother Nature says so, your instructor will obey and remain indoors to teach the art of capturing an interior space with natural window light sweeping across charmingly designed rooms, demonstrating vantage points that optimize the likelihood of well composed results. Hone your skills to capture a photographic narrative of centuries past, in a rich still life of everything and anything from golden-hued antiques, pressed metal kitchen appliances with intricate embossing complete with antebellum pots and pans or go for details of corkscrew staircase bannisters, grandfather clocks and chandeliers. The slide show is composed of images generously provided by the staff of Loring Greenough to provide a sense of the lovely images that are possible with the application of patience and photographic expertise.

Lots of people seem to hang up if our welcome recording comes on instead of a live voice, but we promise to return your message within a day or two if you leave one with your name and number.  It would be even better if you included your e mail address as well as the date and city of the class you are considering.  If leaving a voice mail message is not your thing, please email us at [email protected].
