Photography Walk at Brinton's Mill
Join us for a photography walk and get rare access to capture Brinton’s Mill, through the lens of your camera. This site was the former Chadds Ford residence of Betsy and Andrew Wyeth for more than four decades, which was transformed by Bety’s subtle design.
Award-winning photographer, Laura Ducceschi, will lead the group and discuss options and effects of various camera settings for focus, depth of field, and exposure. Participants must bring their own camera, including DSLR, mirrorless, or compact. Be sure to have a fully charged battery and storage space to shoot freely. Instructions will be tailored to the settings on cameras, but you can use a phone camera if you wish.
Important Information Before You Book:
• Participants will meet at the Brandywine Museum of Art. No parking is allowed at the Brinton’s Mill property, so participants will board a shuttle with their photography supplies.
• There are no public restrooms or water access available at the site. Participants may use the museum facilities before and after the program.
• There is limited shade at Brinton’s Mill. Participants are encouraged to bring bottled water and sun protection.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Educator of Adult & Community Programs, Bailey Gamberg, at [email protected] or (610) 388-8120.
