🌐 Presenting on 3/25 at 7pm: CHANGE AGENTS in PHOTOGRAPHY by Toby B & Lynne M

CHANGE AGENTS in PHOTOGRAPHY
Join us on March 25 at 7pm to see what happens when two women drift together in creative orbit.

Toby Berman and Lynne Mass met each other through this meetup, discovering that they had lived parallel lives both being driven by an intense desire to be creative and to be lifelong learners.

“We found that PEOPLE were dominant in our professional careers. As we talked, we learned that we also had similarity of personal artistic and intellectual values. We both wanted to alter and innovate our photo processes as we had innovated during our professional lives. We started working together thinking about photography differently. We realized we were becoming agents of change.

Two thoughts dominate everything we do - PLAY and TRIAL & ERROR. For each of us, we see complacency as the enemy of creativity, and Creative Disequilibrium (letting ideas simmer subconsciously) as the engine of creativity. Constant education is the catalyst to making the next photograph our best. It is important to note that we are not using artificial intelligence to create any images.

In brainstorming for this presentation, we identified overlapping categories that contained the following:

1. Playing with light and playing with shadows
2. Unusual textures
3. Composites
4. Using software special features
5. Silhouettes
6. Blurs
7. Double exposures
8. Different lenses and different lens techniques - fisheye, prism, saran wrap, etc.

We both use minimal equipment - a mirrorless camera, an iPhone and a few lenses.

Sit back and see what evolved from Lynne’s and Toby’s artistic collision. The final demos are examples that demonstrate the frequently asked questions, “How did you do that? Can you show me?” as Toby and Lynne each show how a finished work got from camera clicks to a final creative image.
