Dave will share examples of his B&W work from his portfolio and examine, in detail, his images using the tools in Adobe Lightroom.

“I’ve had a lifelong interest in photography going back to my early teens, and covering mainly travel, landscape and environmental portraiture work. Since my retirement from Vanderbilt I’ve been able to travel extensively, which has opened up a whole new range of opportunities and challenges—especially in environmental portraiture all around the world.”

Dave defines environmental portraiture as “capturing the essence of an individual in their own environment” and explains, “This presents several challenges, foremost is connecting with the person to reveal your interest in them and their community, and hopefully to make them comfortable with you and the camera.

“The key to achieving this is to show respect for the person, perhaps by asking questions about them and their family. In the April presentation I’ll show some of the techniques that have been helpful.”

Image by Denise Silva

Denise Silva’s presentation focuses on learning to how to refine your imagery with a focus on simplicity through the elimination of non-essential components from your composition. By stripping an image down to its bare essentials, minimalistic imagery emphasizes your subject and tells your story. Simplicity can be powerful when executed properly.  

Her interest in photography started when her grandmother would share her slideshow travels to Egypt and Africa.  Thirty-five years later, those seeds took root and inspired her to embrace photography and travel, from which Road Runner Photography Tours was born.

Denise is recognized as one of the top 200 Women Photographers Who Inspire by Nature Photo Guides and has had multiple articles published in Extraordinary Vision (EV) Magazine, and is a featured artist in Breakthrough Photography’s Guide to Night Sky Photography. 

Her passion is to share her knowledge of photography, while introducing people to the amazing landscapes, wildlife, and people all over the world. Denise embraces the idea that everyday above ground is a good one, so get out and enjoy!
