ARTIST STATEMENT: Peter will cover a range of topics, less from the technical aspects of photography, more about practicing the art of it to help you become a better photographer. Must you conform to photographic “Rules” of composition or should they rather be photographic “Guidelines”? Should you be taking photos only in a way you think will score a high mark at the club? Do you sometimes end up with photographer’s block? Members courageously enter images into competitions and are sometimes dismayed by the marks they get. In those cases it might happen that the judges are short on time and the members do not get enough of an explanation to understand how to improve. Peter will address the aspect of judging from a judge’s perspective and will give you some simple guidelines that followed and applied will greatly improve your marks, remove your frustrations and inspire you to continue to submit. Be prepared to be challenged and participate in discussions he will provoke since he hates to hear his own voice all evening!
