Aerial Photography by Carolyn Cheng
My art practice started 10 years ago. Throughout that period, my practice has evolved through unexpected and intentional shifts, starting as a travel photographer, shifting to landscape photography and then to botanical photography during the pandemic, and now with a focus as an abstract aerial landscape photographer sharing stories about the human impact on our landscapes. My work re-examines traditional elements of landscape photography from an abstract aerial perspective by transforming water, sand and earth, to investigate aspects of the feminine sublime in both the natural and altered worlds.
Artistic Floral Photography with Jackie Kramer
Join Jackie as she takes you on a journey through her digital garden where she will share a variety of techniques that she uses to bring out the character in floral subjects. She will show examples and discuss how to reflect the personality of a flower through a variety of techniques, such as selective focus, shoot-throughs, abstracts, multiples, textures and more. Hear her rationale as it applies to decisions in the field pertaining to selection of the subject, background, approach, composition, lighting, exposure, and depth of field and leave inspired to pick up your camera and follow your own creative voice.
