Focus on Tropical Botanicals—A Photo Workshop

with Steven Foster, 12-18 May 2010

The American Botanical Council (ABC) presents a photo workshop with acclaimed botanical photographer and herbalist Steven Foster, at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge in Costa Rica from May 12-18, 2010. Spend six nights at the beautiful facilities at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge, an ecolodge and Certified Biodynamic herb farm in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, located, just ten miles from one of the world’s most active volcanoes, the Arenal Volcano.

Plants provide more than simple visual aesthetics.  Photography offers an excellent medium to begin to explore simple beauty and gaining a deeper understanding of how to relate to plants. We will focus on techniques for improving your plant photography. Rather than dry optical theory or studio techniques, we will spend most of our time on techniques for field work.

ANYONE CAN TAKE GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS! JOIN US NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SKILL LEVEL. IT’S NOT THE CAMERA THAT COUNTS. WORKSHOP REQUIREMENTS: ENTHUSIASM TO LEARN AND ENJOY A FABULOUS TROPICAL VENUE.

The workshop fee includes six nights (meals inclusive) at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge, airport transfers from San Jose International Airport (SJO), and the workshop itself. Priced at only $1,250 (double occupancy) to allow anyone who has dreamed of taking a photography workshop in a lush tropical location to fulfill that dream. The price does not include roundtrip airfare from your originating airport. Single rooms are $200.00 additional. Participants will also be required to purchase their own travel/medical insurance. Sign-up deadline is May 1, 2010.
