Presentation - "Starting from a blank canvas"
2023-01-04 19:30 - 21:30 | ONLINE ZOOM MEETING, United Kingdom
Polina Plotnikova will be presenting her talk this evening on creative flower and still life photography. Polina’s photographic style developed from her love and knowledge of art. Modern technology equips us with some amazing tools that artists of the past could never dream of, but the main task is essentially the same, to draw the viewer in, so they can share your vision and tune in to the emotions that you are trying to convey.
The presentation is in two parts, starting with creative flowers and still life photography in studio, focussing on how to start creating an image in your minds eye and proceed to taking photographs only after all of the details have been thought through. Polina will include historical references and technical tips. read more
