Monthly Meeting – January 2023 – Humanitarian Vision

2023-01-11 19:00 - 21:00
Online Only (Zoom)

 

Topic: “From Solar to Survival” by Jim Holmes 

Talk description:

Documentary photography is an exploration of the human condition, the drama and the normality and building a narrative that tells this story to others.

Afghanistan and Mongolia share similar landscapes, stark yet beautiful, but my photographic assignments to these two places were to focus on the people, not the places.

Long 4-wheel drive journeys to visit remote communities, sometimes nomadic, that were benefitting from solar power or basic education. I was travelling into the unknown assured these areas were still (relatively) safe and not knowing what I would find.

Bio:

    Topic: "Seeing Art in Architecture" by Lauri Novak

    Talk description:

    In the presentation “Seeing Art in Architecture,” Lauri will help you see the art in buildings and structures.

    You’ll learn to use composition, shapes and other elements to improve your architectural photos.

    Bio:

    Lauri Novak is an award-winning fine art photographer, photo tour guide, mentor and author. She has an eye for photographing unseen and unnoticed compositions and subjects.

    Lauri is often asked, “How did you see that?” She works hard to show different perspectives, unique angles and the everyday details of various subjects.

    Lauri’s photography reflects her perspective and personality. “I have always had a bit of a different way of looking at life. I’m not one to go along with the crowd or follow trends. My viewpoint and way of being have pushed through in my work.”
