On Thursday 20th November Smethwick Photographic Society and guests have a unique opportunity see and hear:- ‘Catchlight and Beyond’ with Jennifer Willis live in the clubroom.
“Jennifer Willis – MFIAP, MPAGB, FRPS, FIPF,
Immediate past Chairman of Catchlight Camera Club
Born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, until only eight years ago Jennifer was still photographing pets and family on ‘Auto’ setting.
After joining Catchlight, Belfast in 2018 she quickly learned from those around her and in due course became the author of many award winning images. However, in her own words, her impactful images are not the product of any technical mastery of the camera but rather of instinct, curiosity and having a special connection with the subject.
In this new talk, Jennifer shares her passion of her favoured photographic genres – Sport (specifically rugby) and Portraiture (and a little bit of Pet photography). More importantly Jennifer will share her motivations, how she achieved some of her most ‘best’ images that have shaped her photographic successes, and further contributed to the successes of Catchlight. Illustrating her talk throughout in both print and PDI she describes what she looks for in an image, what her images have in common and what links her love of these two contrasting ’specialist genres’.
Jennifer is a someone who speaks candidly about her own experience and limitations as a person, a member of a camera club and as a photographer. She hopes to inspire members to contribute to their camera club but also to look beyond the club for positive opportunities to use our talents.”
Starts at 8pm in the CLUBROOM and on the new stream system for those not able to attend.
This week’s talk is part of a series of FREE ‘taster’ sessions for local Sandwell community residents and workers (non SPS members or regular guests). If interested do login or better still come along to the live presentation at the clubhouse. Full details below.
