Join award-winning California-based photographer, Charles Needle, in this special one-day hands-on workshop where you’ll learn new creative techniques to craft unusual, striking images and take your close-up photography to the next level.

The workshop will begin with an overview of various macro techniques, followed by shooting demos and plenty of time to photograph in an indoor “studio” with various set-ups involving colored, iridescent and clear textured glass, mylar, glass objects, shells, etc. There will also be colorful backgrounds, fresh-cut flowers, silk flowers, and plenty of other objects to shoot. You’ll feel like a kid in a macro candy store! Topics covered will include: selective-focus macro, “shooting through” with a telephoto lens, close-up lenses/diopters, macro with specialty lenses such as Lensbaby and Taleidoscope lenses, and wide-angle macro.

The workshop runs from 9:30am to 2:30pm, with a one hour break for lunch.

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum: exhibition Sara Cwynar: Gilded Age

I hope this finds you well! I am writing to the New England Camera Club Council on behalf of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT. We are the only museum in Connecticut devoted to contemporary art and fostering the work of innovative artists.

I wanted to share with the members of the New England Camera Club Council an upcoming event that we are hosting on Sunday, September 22nd in conjunction with our current exhibition Sara Cwynar: Gilded Age (on view through November 10, 2019). Cwynar’s practice spans photography, installation, book-making, and film. The event, Artists Talk on Color, features artists Sara Cwynar and Silas Munro in conversation on color and how it is leveraged to influence us through media and marketing. Artist Sara Cwynar will be signing purchased exhibition catalogues after the talk.

I hope this will be of interest to the New England Camera Club Council! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Claire Ritz
