Get a Personal Photo Site

Hello KE Photographers,

I encourage each of you to get your own photo site. This will be good for you to showcase your photographs, and have a sense of pride and achievement in your own photography. Furthermore, it will be a means for you to have your photos critiqued and a way for you to improve.

May I suggest these two sites:

http://www.flickr.com
http://www.multiply.com


Flickr is a great place to view other people's photographs and learn from the pros, as many of them are professional photographers and graphic designers. There is much you can learn from observing their works. Flickr offers a free account, which is very good funcionality but is limited in a few ways.

Multiply is good for storage of photos for display/sharing with friends as it is both FREE and UNLIMITED. However, it is not as avant garde as Flickr, in my opinion. It is very easy to use and highly recommended though.

Looking forward to our next meeting.

Cheers,
jonk

Photo Shoots Coming Up

Dear KE Photographers,

I will be involved in two Official KE Photoshoots:

1) JCRC Photoshoot
2) KEVII Hall Play Publicity Photoshoot

These will be coordinated and directed photoshoots involving portraiture and creative composition and lighting, similarto the one below.



I will be opening up 2 places per photoshoot, depending on how many photographers I can take on to learn from me. If I have assisting photographers, I will be able to allow more to come and learn.

These will be the pre-requisites:
- have attended training sessions before and/or understand exposure and WB
- have a keen interest in portraiture/theatreworks
- interest to learn about photography in this field.

Projects Dept will update you guys soon.

- Jonk.

THE TRAINING PROGRAMME

The Training Programme will be a single 3h course (with break) which will focus on all major aspects of practical photogrpahy. Call it a crash course, if you may.

It will begin with the very concept of photography and light, and you will then learn about the camera and how it enables you to capture moments through light. You wiill be taught how to capture these moments effectively and in a way that communicates what you wish to exprss to your audience. Furthermore, it will focus on practical situations which you will encounter as a hall photographer, and in most situations which you will be taking photographs in.

This will be followed by a Q & A session, and we will meet again to review what you have learn, and what you have been able to apply.


For those unable to make it for the First Photography Training Programme, I will schedule a repeat programme which I will personally conduct for your benefit. Please try to make it if you can.

- Jonk.
