People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 14 June
Northeastern corner of Lafayette - 10:54am - 2 Hours
Lafayette Photography Group
Mallory Stanford
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Composition in the Park

Composition in the Park

Saturday 12 July
S College Road - 10am - 2 Hours
Lafayette Photography Group
Mallory Stanford
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

This was my first in person art class - and I am a true beginner- so I was pretty nervous going in. Ciara was very sweet and set a good tone for the meeting. I very much enjoyed the class and the conversation with other students.

Several of my pieces feature paths disappearing into the woods. The title comes from a line in a Cat Steven?s song. I have always been taken by roads disappearing around a bend. What?s just out of sight? Robert Frost?s poem The Road Not Taken has been an inspiration to me. Completed in oil in 2024.

I took up oil painting after retiring from the the NHS. Bournville looks stunning on a snowy day when the sun is shining. I worked this from a photo I took when the light was perfect. The colours of snow are magical. It is never white. The perspective on the Rest house is quite challenging!

Title or Location: Camden Town
It was my last day on my London trip and I was very depressed. I visit London a lot and am always sad to leave. That day I decided to visit Camden Town because I had never visited that particular part of London. I wasn?t disappointed. It?s a vibrant place filled with art, people on their way to and fro, and markets. I left feeling happy and optimistic.
