Join Me for the DC Evening Monuments Photography Workshop!

📸 Washington, DC Evening Monuments Photography Workshop

Explore the magic of our nation’s capital. I offer several workshops per year as well as private walking photography tours that can be tailored to the person's/group’s interest. Private tours for 1 to 6 individuals. Workshops have a maximum size of 8 people.

The cost is $99/person, and it's the perfect opportunity to sharpen your photography skills while capturing some of DC’s most iconic landmarks during golden hour.

What You’ll Learn:

• Tips for composition and framing to create postcard-perfect photos

• How to work with light, reflections, and movement to elevate your images

• How to shoot long exposures for stunning evening/nighttime images

We’ll photograph the Jefferson Memorial, Tidal Basin, WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument, among others.

We will be walking for about 2 hours in order to capture as many locations as time permits.

Location: We will meet by the Tidal Basin. There is a parking lot by Floral Park (click to see on Google Maps) right off Maine Avenue, where you can rent Paddle Boats. 

Gear Recommendations:
Bring a DSLR or mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses (in the 15 mm–100mm range, for example, a 24-70 mm lens or a 24-105 mm lens ) and a sturdy tripod. If you have an ND filter and a remote shutter release, please bring them. I do have one tripod available to lend—please email me in advance if you'd like to use it.

Skill Level: All Are Welcome!

Whether you're just getting comfortable with your camera or you’ve been shooting for years, this class is designed for all experience levels. I will provide step-by-step guidance tailored to your skill set, helping you grow more confident behind the lens—no matter where you’re starting from.

Fitness Level: Easy and Relaxed

No hiking, climbing, or running involved—just casual walking between monuments. We’ll be on paved paths and sidewalks throughout the evening, with time to stop, set up, and shoot at each location.

• In-the-field photography instruction

• Post-workshop image review session via Zoom
