Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Saturday 11 April
S College Road - 10am - 2 Hours
Lafayette Photography Group
Mallory Stanford
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

Courtney was an amazing instructor. She was beyond patient with us and answered all of our questions (more than once). The sheet she brought to introduce us to the techniques of watercolor were very helpful. She gave knowledgeable tips and tricks throughout, and was so generous with her time.

I enjoyed the class very much and Courtney was a great teacher. She was extremely helpful in explaining different techniques and the results we could achieve by using different brushes, the colors and the application of how much water we use. I feel I learned enough to want to keep taking more classes.

Title or Location: The Fishing Place
This painting was created for a healthcare-related acquaintance, someone I've known for a long time and is an avid fisherman. As I explore abstract, loose watercolor, I love to create settings that are mystical and inviting. When I presented this to them as a gift, I said, "Here is your new fishing place!" The response of "This looks like somewhere I'd like to go!" showed me that I am on the right path.

The preserve animals have become use to seeing the Range Rovers and Jeeps of "touristy" safaris that they all but ignore them for the most part. This young lion was more interested in a potential meal then doing cameos for the tourists. I wanted to show how this beautiful young lion blended in to its environment. I used a limited palate so the colors of the lion blended with the savannah

Title or Location: Echoes of Silence
In this piece, I attempt to capture a young man?s melancholic state. In art, melancholy is often used to capture the essence of introspection, as it conveys emotions that are universal and relatable to everyone. I chose cool color temperatures to evoke feelings of sadness and of sorrow. Pink and yellow were used to prevent it from becoming overly maudlin and to evoke feelings of hope.?

Title or Location: Ryans Magpies
I love painting birds. Magpies I especially love to paint because they have such beautiful colours that to the eye appear dark but upon closer observation are bright and vibrant.I have only recently started painting in watercolour, this is my second watercolour painting. It was painted for a Christmas present for my son in law, Ryan. Hence the title Ryans Magpies.The composition of the painting is entirely my own. I use many single images and combine them into one picture.
