2026 Elements of Photography: Architecture & Interiors

Saturday, March 28, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Carol Stairs

Lexington photographer Carol Peachee has photographed Pleasant Hill for more than four decades, capturing unique and intimate views of this iconic Shaker community. In 2024, her work was published by The University Press of Kentucky as Shaker Made: Inside Pleasant Hill's Shaker Village. Join Carol at Shaker Village for a special series of hands-on photography workshops in 2026.

The Shakers of Pleasant Hill were known for their impressive buildings and iconic architecture. From the spiral staircase of the 1839 Trustees' Office to the textured limestone blocks of the 1809 Farm Deacon's Shop, there are a wealth of architectural details waiting to be captured in the perfect photograph. Carol will introduce participants to some of the key elements that go into capturing a strong image, including light, texture, patterns, and contrast. Then, the workshop will move out into Shaker Village's buildings, exploring these concepts through photography of architectural elements and building interiors.
