'The Emotional Landscape' - An online talk with Huw Alban

  • Wrekin Arts Photographic Club Prince's Street Wellington, , TF1 1JG United Kingdom (map)

I am Huw Alban, an Artist using Photography based in Dorset specialising in the creation of images that capture true nature - whatever the subject.
My photographs have appeared throughout the country in various exhibitions and competitions, and have been published worldwide in magazines and books. I am also a Western Counties Photographic Federation qualified competition judge, and have performed many very successful assessments for camera clubs in the South West.
The Emotional Landscape - Within this lecture I explore why the dialogue between me and the subject is so important, and also how I include the results of that dialogue in my own images. Rather than blind the audience with lengthy psychological theories I simply illustrate what I’ve done and why with a series of examples, with each explaining what was in my head at the time, and how that has influenced the final result. Additionally I will show how an awareness of the state of mind of the photographer can have a huge impact on the look of the final image produced. For my own image making this has moved me from creating good images to creating pictures that talk to the viewer and (hopefully) generate an emotional reaction. I will also illustrate how just being aware of simple concepts, for example the orientation of the camera can influence how others react to your pictures. This is a light hearted exploration of my own creative process, broken down into simple concepts, which should appeal to all levels of photographer and artist, no matter what their individual subject interest.
