Join photographer David Johnson for a magical evening of hands-on night photography at Brookgreen Gardens. From 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., participants will explore the stunning Nights of a Thousand Candles exhibition while learning professional techniques, including long exposures, tripod use, and low-light composition.
This workshop includes exclusive after-hours access to the gardens, guided instruction, and personalized feedback.

Workshops take place on January 8th, with only 20 participants per night—reserve your spot early for this illuminating experience!
Advance registration is required, and space is limited. Workshops are subject to cancellation if minimum enrollment is not met. In the event of cancellation, participants will be notified and refunded.
