“It’s All about the Light”

Jim Madden will be the speaker at our monthly club meeting on July 16th. Jim worked as a professional commercial photographer for 50 years, mostly doing product photography. He has made presentations to the club in the past and has been a judge for a number of our club contests.

Photography has been described a “painting with light.” Using basic proper lighting techniques can breathe life into inanimate objects. Jim is going to give us a practical demonstration of what that means. He will cover use of ambient light, as well as studio lighting. He will discuss the qualities of light and demonstrate the different types of light. He will show us how to recognize good light. Using a still life / table top set up, he will show how to shape and form light to achieve our artistic vision.
