With Joseph Roybal

“Going into the field to take photos takes so much more than simply grabbing your camera and walking out the door to be successful,” Joseph Roybal explains in his upcoming presentation, Scouting and Preparing for your Photographic Journey: The Photography Field Guide. Join us to discover how Joseph prepares for a shoot. He will discuss his behind-the-scenes preparation and methods to search and create a detailed route to take advantage of and be most effective with his time in the field: from inspiration in finding an image, to looking at satellite imagery, all the way to creating waypoints online to take with you into the field for offline navigation. “These techniques always evolving for me; however, the fundamentals of preparedness and being aware are critical for maximizing my efforts as well as safety while in the field.”

Joseph Roybal is a professional fine art landscape photographer based in Denver. His tagline, Explore.Learn.Share. comes from a simple desire to raise environmental awareness and take everything he has learned and experienced in the field and share with others in presentations, private 1-on-1 photo tours, in addition to post processing techniques and getting your images to look their best for print.

Join us for dinner before the meeting at 5:15 pm.

Add drama and texture to your portraits! Bill O’Brien will walk us through his process of using textures to create a sense of timelessness to your portraits and images.

Bill is a digital artist with a focus on portraiture and landscape photography based out Aurora, Colorado. He’s a classically trained (non-digital) graphic artist and self-taught photographer and digital artist. His painterly and surrealist style of portraiture is steeped with characters that are ethereal and timeless. With each series, he aspires to push his style rather than duplicate it.

Following the main presentation, Bill will be the judge for our monthly critique and contest (anonymous entries unless/until you win). This month’s theme is “Black & White”. Our rotating theme this month is “Landscapes”. See instructions for submitting entries at www.evergreencameraclub.com.

Doors open at 6:30 pm for social time. Program begins at 7 pm.
