Connections through Photography
Connections through Photography is an eight-week course for adults, helping you to notice nature, connect with others and learn techniques for better images – unlocking the potential for nature connection from your phone.
This course is part of the Nature Connections programme, developed to help improve health and wellbeing through nature-based group activities at the Eden Project. It is offered free of charge to adults who could benefit, thanks to funding from the Pears Foundation. Booking is essential – please email natureconnections@edenproject.com or call 01726 818550.

I left feeling relaxed and positive and having learnt something new.
About the course
What to expect
Suitable for complete beginners, the course will cover techniques like composition, colour and exposure. Short practices will give you the opportunity to explore, choose what to photograph and incorporate new techniques in your images. Group sessions enable you to spend time with others and share what you notice in Eden Project's iconic gardens. Bring along your phone, camera or tablet to take images. A friendly facilitator will give you activities to try and share their knowledge.

Please wear shoes that are suitable for walking, and dress appropriately for the weather, as you will be both outside and in the Biomes. Temperatures can vary a lot – the Rainforest Biome can be hot and humid and the Mediterranean can be hot on a sunny day but cold if it’s grey.
