www.spsatlanta.org - Editing Images: Three Photographers Share Their Techniques참석자에게 공개되는 링크
Ever wonder how some of our most experienced photographers process their images? Here’s your chance to find out. Join us on Zoom for our May 20 Learnshop where Jack Martin, Calvin Harris and Max Heine will each demonstrate -- live -- how they process a photograph: one of their own, and one from one of the other two members. Using Lightroom, Photoshop or a combination of both, you will see how the same image can be edited differently by different photographers.
Newer photographers are always looking for the "right" way to process their images, while more seasoned photographers often look to others for affirmation that what they are doing is the "best" way to do it. This program will show that there is no one "right" way to process images, and that above all else you should develop a process that works for you and meets your needs.
This will not necessarily be a "how to" session, but you will no doubt pick up some useful tips on how each of these photographers accomplish their goals in producing a final image.
Please note:
This month's Learnshop will be online, and the ZOOM link will be emailed the day before the event to all who RSVP.

- Photojournalism: Capturing Moments - with Ben GrayUnitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA
Please join us for our June First Friday meeting featuring photographer Ben Gray and enter our print image competition, “NATURE" (more information below.)
Photography is about finding and capturing the moments that tell a story. This is especially true in photojournalism, where the photographer is the eyes of the public and is responsible for telling the story unfolding in front of them. With 30 years of experience, Ben Gray has captured these moments in just about every situation, from President Carter's funeral (see photo above) to abortion protests to a zebra loose in downtown Atlanta. See some of his favorite images and hear the stories behind them. He will also share some of the personal projects he’s done and talk about how he uses them to fuel his creativity.
Ben Gray is a creative visual communicator with more than 30 years of professional experience as a photojournalist, videographer, photo editor and communications officer. Ben is based in Atlanta where he works with a variety of clients including the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Associated Press, the BBC, Cox Enterprises, Wells Fargo, the Carter Center and the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Previously, Ben lived in the Middle East, where he worked in Jerusalem and Palestine in the non-profit and religious sector with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land and the Lutheran World Federation.
Prior to moving to the Middle East, Ben worked for 18 years at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as a photojournalist, photo editor and director of photography. He is a graduate of Ohio University’s Visual Communication program and serves on the board of directors of The Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar.
Ben has written blogs, deadline stories and feature-length narratives. He is a winning ultramarathon runner who has completed 100-mile races, an avid motorcycle rider and a patented inventor (graymatterinventions.com).
