“Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, was founded as a religious community in the late 19th century by members of a Christian denomination known as the New Church. Just a mile from the Philadelphia border, this small borough is home to some of the area’s most remarkable architecture, buildings that reflect the religious faith and vision of the community’s earliest residents.
The Bryn Athyn Historic District includes three family residences—father John Pitcairn’s Beaux-Arts mansion, Cairnwood, and sons Harold and Raymond’s residences, Cairncrest and Glencairn, respectively—and the renowned Bryn Athyn Cathedral. All were constructed between 1892 and 1938. The Bryn Athyn Historic District was designated as a National Historic Landmark on October 6, 2008.” (from their website)
For this event, we will photograph in two of the three historical and beautiful architectural wonders (Cairnwood is currently undergoing renovations). Join us for an afternoon of photography on our private tours of both the Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Glencairn Museum. Participants will have the opportunity to photograph the beautiful grounds as well as interiors. For the museum, we will have private access to the amazing architecture of the first floor, as well as views from the limited access tower!
Prior to the workshop, there will be a class via Zoom, where we will review images from areas we will photograph in, and go through details on how to best capture the architectural details. We will cover composition, lens and other gear choice, exposure settings and more; everything you need to come away with incredible images of these spaces of your own!
Following the workshop, an image review/editing session will also be held via zoom to share tips on editing the bracketed images to bring out the best details in the final images.
Group will be kept to a minimum to allow for plenty of space to photograph and give hands-on assistance.
Registration is required, and tickets will likely sell out quickly for this our first workshop to this amazing historic gem.
