Jay Ressler will speak on

"Personal Work"

Digital Imagers Meeting

Sunday Mar. 7, 2010 at 1:15, Pitt Scaife Hall, Room 1102

Description:

The center piece of my talk will be a slide show based on portraits of people I’ve made mostly on the streets, at public events, or at other public places. Many are of performers of one sort or another. While many of the subjects were aware, quite a few were shot candidly, some “from the hip.” Although many hip shots miss by a mile, this technique sometimes produces interesting results. I will also include several other very brief slide shows including some of the photos I call my signature pieces. I also plan to spend a little time talking about processing using Adobe Camera Raw.
