Photography Workshop

Saturday, November 16 SOLD OUT, 2024

Using the exhibition Photographing Frank Lloyd Wright as inspiration, guests will learn what it takes to compose great architectural photos from a practicing photographer in this workshop co-hosted by the Driehaus Museum and Frank Lloyd Wright Trust. Wright’s groundbreaking architecture was expertly recorded by photographers throughout his career, with each artist injecting their own style into the portrayal of Wright’s work. In this workshop, guests will engage in a discussion about photographic artistry with photographer, Jonathan Michael Castillo, practice setting up shots, and finally take time to capture the unique architecture of the Driehaus Museum or Rookery light court. Join us to hone your photo skills and find your own artistic vision.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust is a collaborating partner for the Driehaus Museum’s exhibition Photographing Frank Lloyd Wright.

This program is now sold out.
