Wrekin Arts Photographic Club Newsletter 11 2021/22 1 March 2022

This Friday at 7.30pm we welcome Warren Alani MSc, ARPS, AFIAP, DPAGB, ABPE https://www.warrenalaniphotography.com/bio for his online talk “Seeing is Believing - A Monochrome Special.” Warren has cultivated a clear artistic direction and distinctive style in his work. His photography particularly focuses on sports, portraiture, architecture and travel, as well as street-style snapshots taken on the spur of the moment. Warren says, “This monochrome special takes things one step further, and explores how by limiting our colour palette, and freeing ourselves of expectations we can learn to appreciate the finer details and little joys within the still image.”

On Friday 11 March at 7.30pm Richard O’Brien https://richobphoto.co.uk presents his online talk ”Architecture - Exposure to Edit.” Richard says, “In this presentation I talk about the kind of images I take and what I look for when shooting both internal and external architecture and move on to how I take the shot and process it.”
