One of the most beautiful hidden treasures of Washington DC is the Kreeger Museum, located above Georgetown on Foxhall Road NW. Designed by famed architect Philip Johnson, the Kreeger houses the extraordinary art collection of the late GEICO Chairman David Lloyd Kreeger and his wife, Carmen.
This priceless collection contains paintings by Picasso, Modigliani, Bonnard, Braque, Gaugin, Van Gogh, Klee, Monet, Pissaro and many others, plus sculpture by Rodin, Brancusi, Calder, and Henry Moore. On this photo Safari, led by E. David Luria, architectural photographer and director of the popular Washington Photo Safari, you will be given an exclusive opportunity to learn how to photograph these works of art, a privilege not given to regular Museum visitors.
Emphasis will be on photographic composition, exposure, and white balance settings for accurate color rendition without the use of flash or tripod. Then the Safari moves outdoors to photograph the sculpture on the outdoor patios against a backdrop of magnificent fall colors. Register early for this unique opportunity to have your camera bring the treasures of the Kreeger into your own home.
