Using Light & Shadow in Photography

Light and shadow photography is a type of photography that focuses on capturing the interplay between light and shadow in a particular scene. This style of photography often produces dramatic and compelling images that can evoke strong emotions in the viewer. Harsh light and the contrast between light and shadow can provide some interesting photo opportunities, as well as some challenges! In this meetup, we will be looking at how you can use your camera's settings to nail the exposure.

The City at Night

Saturday 18 November
Downtown Lafayette - 7:30pm - 2 Hours

Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun. In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

Title or Location: Silvanus , God of Wild Nature.
Quite the beginner, I'm drawn to the magical aspects of nature. Semi abstract, wet on wet watercolour is my favourite , which allows me to paint wild nature, but put my own magical slant on it! This piece was inspired by a tutorial by Joanne Boon Thomas.

Title or Location: iCandy
iCandy is my take on our ever increasing use of smart phones as a source of distraction. It is also a spoof of the marketing of these devices, and the marketing world as a whole, using design asthetics from candy and toy products and advertisements from my childhood in the 80's, particularly the ones emblazoned on my subconscious that played repeatedly during Saturday morning cartoons.

Title or Location: Miss Wary
I was taking a portrait drawing class back in 2019 with Frank Zamora at SCC. As somewhat of a perfectionist, I found myself struggling to let myself free in my work. I know what captivated me also captivated others...the lips, jaw lines, the nose, ears and the eyes can all look different and "change", based on angle and lighting.So this was the first time I decided to give up on proportions, let go, and just draw what I felt to me was weirdly beautiful. No one face is perfectly proportional,

Title or Location: Pure Joy
These two little mice bring me pure joy everytime I look at them. It takes me back to my childhood of enchanted movies of woodland animals, imagination and play. I had to paint them, the whole process was pure joy, hence the title. Referance photo is by Belinda Fewings and can be found on Unsplash.
