• Meeting host Julie Faas introduced our guest speaker, Wayne Simpson.
Wayne spoke to us about Portraits Of Resilience
The first half of his presentation included a variety of dramatic portraits accompanied by the subjects’ life stories. Some of them were heart warming, while others were quite disturbing. By revealing the tough times that these people went through, Wayne demonstrated that getting to know your subject is the key to capturing a striking portrait. During the second half of the show, he showed us how he uses flash to augment ambient light. We were encouraged to think outside the box to “Find the hook”, the thing that keeps people looking at a photo.
The Chatham Camera Club would like to thank Wayne for his excellent presentation. Those of us who like to shoot portraits, learned a lot.
