TENBY CAMERA CLUB NEWS

Tenby Camera Club was privileged on the 10th October to welcome local photographer Ross Grieve . Ross is an Associate of the Master Photographers Association, a Lumix Ambassador and a X-Rite Coloratti Master . He is based in Cresselly but travels all around the world for client commissions.

His talk was on his speciality “Street Photography” . His passion for photography and capturing unique moments was displayed throughout his presentation. Many images taken in public places, like train stations, airports and markets, captured expressions of sadness, vulnerability and happiness . He talked about how to watch and observe people & their behaviour, interacting with them if possible . It was very poignant seeing the homeless people images, taken carefully, giving them dignity and respect.

Camera equipment, settings and techniques were all discussed .

Towards the end of the evening Ross demonstrated how simple portraits can be taken using three brave club members as volunteers. Tips how to relax your subject, lighting and sitting positions all were useful. The three members were rewarded with interesting and different photos of themselves .

Club members gave Ross an enthusiastic audience response and they look forward to seeing him again in the club in the future.
