Zoom Meeting – Ray Schneider
This presentation explores how to compose pictures with people in them to draw the viewer in, evoke emotion, and tell a story. Posed portraits, environmental portraits, street portraiture, and travel photographs will all be included in the discussion. We will review many of the core tenets of composition and how to capture the right gestures, background, expressions, lighting, perspective, camera settings, and more. Ray will share ideas for creating more impactful and memorable pictures.
Our Zoom meetings open at 6:30 pm for a social time before the presentation. Visitors are always welcome.
Presented by Ray Schneider
Ray Schneider is a freelance photographer whose images span numerous genres including portrait, street, landscape, animals, and events. An avid traveler, his images come from over 30 countries. He has published a book entitled What the Photographer Sees. Ray also recently received a Portfolio Merit Award from Black and White Magazine. For Ray, seeing like a photographer is to perceive well. It’s creating images that are more than pretty pictures — hopefully — and that trigger the viewer’s inner voice, that suggests a story, that evolves in the consciousness as they’re viewed, that invites a sense of curiosity, that causes one to pause and maybe take a closer look.
