BALMVILLE — The Hudson Valley Garden Association’s winter lecture series will conclude April 12 with a garden photography presentation and workshop given by award-winning photographer Matthew Benson at his organic farm outside Newburgh.

Based on Benson’s book, “The Photographic Garden” (Rodale 2012), the presentation will cover fundamentals of garden photography with an emphasis on creative technique and technical literacy.

The presentation will be followed by a shoot on location at Stonegate Farm, in the historic hamlet of Balmville, with a follow-up on post-production of images using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, with on-site feedback and portfolio review.

Benson’s photography can be seen often in garden books and magazines including House Garden, Better Homes Gardens, The New York Times, Garden Design and Country Living. He is a contributing editor for Rodale’s Organic Gardening, and writes a blog at OrganicGardening.com, “The Accidental Farmer,” about his efforts to farm sustainably, organically and aesthetically.

“The Photographic Garden: Mastering the Art of Digital Garden Photography” will be held 9 a.m.-1 p.m. April 12 at Stonegate Farm, Balmville. The fee is $125. To register, go to hvga.org. For more information, email laura@hvga.org.
