Want to take great portraits, just want to learn about lighting? Then the Workshop Night is for you.

Once again WCC has moved heaven and Earth to get you the best, this is Mark’s second visit to the club. If you’ve never heard of Mark, then here’s some blurb for you:

Mark Galer is a seasoned professional photographer, educator, and author, a former contributing editor for Australian Photography magazine, an Adobe Ambassador and Photoshop Guru. Mark published his 30th book with Focal Press in 2015, has served as a Senior Lecturer and Program Director of the BA Photography course at RMIT University in Melbourne and is a Sony Global Imaging Ambassador.

For those who don’t know, the Craft Room is opposite the Main Hall (where we normally meet), if you stand with your back to the Main Hall doors, the Craft Room is in the far left corner.

On Wednesday 13 March 2019 we have a special event with internationally recognised creative photographer Adrian Donoghue.

7:30pm in the Craft Room at the Mount Waverley Community Centre.

For our February workshop Starleaton has partnered with Epson to teach us everything we need to know about printing (well, some if it anyway!!)

This means a change of venue to Epson – 1155 Malvern Rd, Malvern, 7.00 pm start. Epson will provide catering.

At our last visit to Starleaton many members came home with excellent prints. In addition to learning about printers, papers and colour management there will be another opportunity to print your images with a range of papers available including fine art papers.

This is a great opportunity – do come along. Please let me know if you are coming so we can assist with numbers for catering. Thanks

The committee has been busy planning activities for next year and we have been guided in this by the responses from the survey in terms of set subjects and workshops. A number of these are now confirmed and our first few competition nights will be as follows:

So that you can prepare, other possible set subjects are travel, animals, movement, minimalism, food and low key/hi key. Once judges are organised these will be confirmed. The “creative months” will be May/July/September/November, so there is plenty of time to get creative before they are due in!

Workshops currently being organised are printing, black and white photography, low key/high key lighting (Kayell), travel photography, camera function and maintenance, macro photography, astro-photography and more.

We are also well on the way to securing Mark Galer who will be doing a half day workshop on LightRoom where we are hoping to cover some of the more advanced features. The first weekend in March is the likely date for this event and there will be a small charge which will be subsidised somewhat by the club. An advanced photoshop workshop is also being planned so watch this space.
