Calendar   Speaker
Date Monday, March 4, 2024at 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Duration   2h
Description

Join us as Nic Stover will explain his approach to compositions and understanding light. During the first session Nic will explain how the most impactful and compelling images are the those that have the proper balance of Technique, Vision, and Processing. All of these skills need to be developed and continually refined through the artistic and creative process. He will explain the challenges of what makes a compelling image and review examples from his own work of what works, and perhaps what doesn’t.

For the second session Nic will explore the domain of light and how it can affect our photography. Like all of us Nic doesn’t have mastery of light nor the power to control it but he will talk about what he CAN control, how he reacts to the light he is given, not the light he wants. Nic considers the science and study of light to be one of our most important pursuits in photography.
