Note: 9:00 start time to accommodate Kathleen’s busy schedule. Watch for Jack’s Sunday email with the ZOOM link.

Zoom with us as master photographer Kathleen Clemons returns to critique members’ photos.  We are incredibly fortunate to have a photographer of Kathleen’s talent and accomplishment lead us in this review.  Please join us!

Kathleen Clemons, called by some “the Georgia O’Keefe of photography”, spoke to us in September.  In addition to sharing her stunningly simple floral portraits, she provided insight into her process and tips to help photographers of all levels to shoot better flower portraits. 

She then gave an assignment (See it below). On Monday, October 4 she will review and critique photos submitted by our members who accepted the challenge. These critiques have proven to be a great way to learn for those who participate in the shoot as well as for those who are observers at the critique.

It turns out flowers are really fun to shoot when you have some ideas about how to do it. Kathleen emphasized that we are all continuing learners and should have fun in the process. Come and see how we are doing and what we can all learn from our efforts.

Kathleen is an excellent teacher. Don’t be surprised if you pick up some tips that can improve your photography in general.

Choose flowers you find beautiful and interesting.

Pay attention to:
