Quick Details
Come join architectural photographer E. David Luria as he guides you through the Conservatory to photograph festive lights throughout the Garden, poinsettias, holiday decor, and small scale models of D.C. landmarks made from plant materials – the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the garden conservatory, Fords Theater, Capitol Hill row houses, along with the newest model – the Museum of African American History and Culture!
We will then photograph the rest of the Botanic Gardens floral displays and then go outside to photograph G-gauge model trains in the gated outdoor garden as they wind their way through displays of pollinators made from plant parts and finally, the US Capitol.

“You taught me several important points and helped me better understand not only photography but also my own camera. I’ve taken photo classes at the Smithsonian, Glen Echo, and the Washington School of Photography. You’ve been the best among all the teachers I’ve had.“ David Lassiter, Olney, MD
