In-Person and Zoom Meeting – Brian Spear
Many of us have seen or heard of the 365 Project, a photo idea a day for a year, or the book 52 assignments. What if you want to do something more? A photo project is a year or more project in which you focus on a single idea or subject to study. Brian will share the key concepts he includes when working on a photography project and show several examples demonstrating these concepts. One project he started over 10 years ago, another during covid, and others just for fun to explore different ways of working on projects.
Our in-person and Zoom meetings open at 6:30 pm for a social time before the presentation. Visitors are always welcome.
Presented by Brian Spear
I have been taking photos all my life and have visited the seven continents. While a student at the Brooks Institute of Photography, I developed a love for photojournalism and learned the craft from some brilliant minds. I then returned to my hometown and continued my photography at CSUSB, learning the classical style of art and becoming the head photographer for the school newspaper. I was then privileged to travel and see more of the world, including my favorite location, Antarctica, where I was challenged in how I photograph and see the natural world through a camera. Today, I continue to pursue my love of photography and press myself on concepts and projects I can learn from in an Anthropological way. In doing so, I have been showing my work worldwide in numerous magazines, including National Geographic and Digital Photographer. Currently, I am a freelance photographer for local papers and publications.
