Skip to main contentCommercial photographer Abigail Jackson leads “Photography and the Art of Noticing,” an interactive class designed to sharpen participants’ eyes and help them capture the magic in everyday moments.
During the class, participants explore how light, composition, perspective and framing can transform their surroundings into compelling photographs. Through real-world examples, group discussion and hands-on exercises, they learn to tell stories through images and approach ordinary subjects with a more creative lens. The class takes place in the Inn’s Vista Restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Duke Forest provide an ideal setting for studying light.
No professional experience is required. Participants need only their curiosity and a phone or camera.
The photography class is part of the Dive Into Durham Masterclass series.
