Educational Opportunity with ASMP Tucson Member Steven Meckler

ASMP Tucson member Steven Meckler is teaching a two-day photography workshop on November 4th and 5th, 2017. If interested, please follow the link for more information and to register.

http://www.mecklerphotography.com/seminar

As listed in the course description: “This is an intermediate through advanced photo course in a weekend for those who know how to use their camera and want to get the most out of it.”

As such, it may not be appropriate for ASMP general members, but it would behoove ASMP student level members, or serious photo hobbyists our members may know, to take this course.

Also from the course description:

Some of what you will learn:

√ Lighting:  Best uses of different light sources on location and in the studio. Hard, soft and in between.

√ Quality of light – brightness, contrast & color (type of light, white balance and time of day).

√ Composition: balance, line, shape, texture, repetition, symmetry, etc.

√ Prospective [sic]: making 3-dimensions in a 2-dimensional medium

√ Storytelling: with a single photo or multiple photos

√ The importance of intent and communicating your ideas

√ Effective use of foreground, mid-ground and background

√ Workflow – Camera, preproduction, production, post production, computer applications, delivery and archiving                       

√ Lens choices

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

 

indian center

indian center

OK so here is a great opportunity for you to help the local community:

 

I am looking for volunteers to come and assist with a Photography workshop that is happening at the Tucson Indian Center http://www.ticenter.org/

It’s going to be working with the youth coalition and teaching them how to take photographs and it’s Saturday 5th September 10am -3:00pm downtown.

Right now I need a few volunteers to help me work with the kids/ teens on the activities that we have planned. We are trying to teach them basic photo skills from capture to download. Then help them practice photographing in a studio setting and later in the year there will be an exhibition planned.

We are also looking for any donations of digital cameras for the class. They don’t have to be top of the line, and nor do they have to be SLR, whatever you have we are willing to work with- the Indian center said they would give you a tax receipt for the donation to the youth program.

 

 

If you have any questions or are interested in being a volunteer for the workshop please call or email me.
