SUMMARY:November 20\, 2023: Tony Bramley of Essex England will do a hybrid Zoom presentation titled “Composition: The Principles & Elements of Art in Photography”.
DESCRIPTION:November 20\, 2023: Tony Bramley of Essex England will do a hybrid Zoom presentation titled “Composition: The Principles & Elements of Art in Photography”. You are sure to remember the wonderful experience we had with Tony as the judge for the October 24\, 2022 BPS competition. \nTony actually teaches a 2 day Advanced Composition workshop in England. This session will cover a lot of ground taught in that workshop. It will be very different from the usual talks on composition as Tony will relate it to other forms of art and discuss how this translates to photography. All levels find it interesting. \nDuring this session\, we will learn how interesting the content of our images can be & that there were never any ‘rules’ in composition. He will review the considerations on the creation of the perfect composition & show how so much more should go into producing a photograph when looking at the elements of composition. Tony will explore behind this thought process by discussing the artistic design elements that make up an image. These principles hold fast for the art world & sit comfortably within both traditional & contemporary photography. \nOften it is quoted “To break the rules you need to understand the rules”. This presentation helps to understand the key principles & elements that should be considered when creating an image. It shows that an image breaking the rules usually obeys other principles or elements\, supporting the finished composition. Whether it is pictorial\, creative or abstract photography that you shoot\, you should go away with a new view on the content of your photographs. \nTony has been working as a professional photographer for over twenty five years\, winning several awards & accreditations within professional photography from the British Institute of Professional Photographers & the Royal Photographic Society. Storm Photography Ltd.\, a corporate photography service\, has been the professional photography side of his work for most of this time. In 2016\, Tony started The Light Academy\, photography training for one2one\, group training & group workshops. He has published 5 books & teaches on YouTube\, as well. His goal is to help photographers to enjoy their photography & become confident in their creativity. As part of this activity\, Tony has been doing camera club talks & judging internationally. \nIn December 2015\, Tony was made a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society for his unique conceptual work on Suprematism within photography. This was followed by the Royal Photographic Society Fellowship of the Year Award in 2016 for the “most outstanding panel of work achieving a Fellowship”. This very prestigious award was in recognition of Tony’s work in blending photography with the Modernist Russian avant-garde movement of Dynamic Suprematism\, a painting style begun by the Polish-Ukrainian artist Kazimir Malevich in 1913. This art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometric abstract art painted in a limited range of colors. It is based upon the “the supremacy of pure artistic feeling” rather than on visual depiction of objects. Tony is working photographically in this very unique style. He abstracts his compositions from single photographs using existing geometry within the content. \nPhotography is not only Tony’s profession but also his passion. His personal photography includes abstract\, street\, modern & contemporary architecture\, still life & portrait photography. \nMembers can check out these various links to Tony’s work: HERE\, www.lightacademy.co.uk\, www.suprematism.co.uk & www.stormphotography.co.uk \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. For non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Tony Bramley – November 20” in the order box. Once BPS receives your donation\, your pass will be emailed to you.
