0Photographic Society: October 2023 Report
Octobers club night welcomed Steve Brabner, a long term member of Amersham photographic society and founding member of the sub group called ‘Beyond’, which aims to push club members away from their comfort zone and beyond, by listing monthly topics which need to be 1. Newly taken and 2. Will not be judged. Each task lasts 3 months.
Topics in the past include Blur, Still life, Playing with Scale & Perspective, Water / Bubbles, Paper (not trees), Self-portrait (foot, shadow, arms etc.), Pop Art, Joiner/Collage, Triptych, Silhouettes & text, to name but a few.
Steve spoke about the ups and down of organising a subgroup and how more famous photographers, such as Polina Plotnikova influenced some members with her flower portraits & how she photographed flower movement.
Some more recent topics have included Food, Postage stamps (where members created a mock up postage stamp with their chosen photo), Decay, Create a book cover, AI, Deconstructed Landscape and Surrealism.
The audience were very interested in all Steves images and is now looking into the feasibility of doing this within our own club.
We welcome new members to our Society nights on the first Wednesday of each month. Website and contact: addphoto.co.uk for further information.
