Jean-Marc Bara Presents The Biology of Seeing and Implications for Photographers, Wednesday April 18 at 7:15pm virtual webcast
The Stamford Photography Club welcomes one of it’s members, Jean-Marc Bara, who will give a presentation to our audience
The Biology of Seeing and
Implications for Photographers
Wednesday, April 20,
7:15pm via Zoom webcast
The presentation covers how the Visual System is not like a camera, how we perceive Luminance and Color, how our processing and analysis of Luminance and Color are quite different, and the implications for photographers. It will also cover how our perceptions convert into feelings. A better understanding of how our Visual System works has helped me and may help you boost confidence about using and relying on the most important tool in photography (we will discuss at length what and why that is). It will also provide a number of insights helpful for approaching shooting, editing, and post-processing images.
The presentation will be divided into two parts, each followed by Q&As, and all together should last two hours.
My friends know I am borderline obsessive about order and organization. Photography, for me, is also a way to continue to learn about, organize and simplify the world around me. In my street photography, rather than directing, I enjoy capturing candid moments that are interesting, funny, or have the viewer ask questions and at the same time, result in a formal and aesthetically pleasing frame. I like American contemporary photographer Alex Soth’s wording of the key ingredients: Light, Moment, and Magic. Other themes that drive my photography are abstraction and minimalism. Since 2011 I have exhibited in local, national, and, more recently, international shows. My photographs have won Best Cityscape and Best Portrait in the latest Connecticut Association of Photographers Tops in Connecticut competition.
This meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Non-members interested in joining us for this presentation, please email David Kaplan to be sent an invite link.
