Please join us Tuesday, March 2 at 7:30 PM for award-winning photographer, James Roy, who will speak on "The Art of Creating Fine Art Environmental Portraits". James will join us for dinner at Chili's at 5:45 pm prior to the meeting--if you're interesting in participating in dinner, please rsvp to mary.m.o'neill@nospam!#*&^#)type address - don't copy spam protection(*@.@nospamgsk.com by Sunday, 2/28. Program How can one consistently create powerful photographic images from all types of subject matter? How can one take these skills and then create sellable, one-of-a-kind, environmental portraits? Do these skills require raw talent or can they be learned? James has a unique talent, but he also believes that this creative process is also learned, and ultimately, can be taught. In this course, he will dissect photographs from each of his fine art portfolios, and explain the process he uses to create powerful images from diverse subject matter. He will then explain how, with these skills, he creates sellable, one-of-a-kind, fine art environmental portraits. Biography James' photographic work reflects over 25 years of professional and personal experience. His formal training is recognized through membership in the Maryland Professional Photographer's Association (MDPPA), Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and American Society of Photographers (ASP). He has received numerous MDPPA Best-In-Show prints, PPA loan collection prints and Fuji Masterpiece and Kodak Gallery Awards. He holds the following internationally recognized PPA degrees: Masters, Craftsman. He also holds the prestigious title of PPA International Photographer of the Year in 2008. His wedding images have been published and featured on the covers of various regional wedding journals and in PPA's "Professional Photograper" magazine. His fine art images are part of many private and public collections in the United States and Europe. James is also a photography instructor, and his workshop series (www.photosafariworkshop.com) is designed to teach his students the skills required to consistently create powerful, artistic images. |
