ACC Member, Fred Gold, will present a program on Sreet Photography at our next meeting.
Fred will discuss the difference between Portrait, Nature, Architectural, and Street Photography. After experimenting with the different classifications he has specialized in Street Photography for many years. At the current time, he has a solo exhibit at the North Shore Senior Center for the months of September and October using an unusual method of displaying the images. Fred will be showing some of his images as examples and for discussion.
The presentation begins at 7:30 pm and guests are welcome to attend.
We are happy to announce Mike Caplan’s presentation to our first meeting of the season!
Whether it is a shoot for Christian Dior Cosmetics, Fifth Third Bank, or a bird in mid-air, Mike Caplan’s eye for lighting and composition is distinctive and compelling. Extensive training has made him an expert with off-camera flash. Equally at home on location or in the studio, Mike’s technical skills are exceeded only by his ability to interact with people. His 30 years of broadcasting experience have made him a consummate communicator – a key to evoking natural and often whimsical expressions from his portrait clients.
