Veterans Creative Expressions Workshop: Basic Photographic Principles

Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:30pm

Learn the fundamentals of photo composition in this hands-on class with award-winning photographer Suzanne McCarthy. Participants of all levels will explore principles such as framing, perspective, and balance, then put these concepts into practice by photographing in the museum’s gardens. Please bring a DSLR or cell phone camera. Each participant will have the opportunity to print one of their images, taking home a finished piece of their own artwork.

This FREE program is open to all U.S. veterans and active-duty personnel. A spouse or other family member (age 16 or older) may take the workshop with their military member, but all participants must register in advance.

Registration will close when workshop is full!
