About this Event

Ann Arbor's most photogenic bloom is calling!

Join PROCAM Ann Arbor's Travis Howell for Prime Time Peonies, a relaxed and inspiring morning photography workshop in the blissful peony gardens of Nichols Arboretum.

Timed for peak bloom and beautiful morning light, this hands-on workshop is designed to help you create striking floral images while sharpening your creative eye. We’ll explore composition, depth of field, color relationships, lens choice, and techniques for turning flowers into compelling photographs.

Bonus: Your ticket includes a free prime lens rental (no deposit required), giving you a chance to experiment with specialty glass and discover what a fast prime can do for close-up and environmental flower photography.

Whether you're new to photography or looking to refine your vision, this workshop offers inspiration, technical guidance, and plenty of time to shoot.

  • Guided photography workshop in the Peony Garden and Aboretum.
  • Tips on floral composition, light, and creative vision
  • Demonstrations using prime lenses for shallow depth of field and detail work
  • Complimentary prime lens loaners included with admission (first-come lens selection)
