SUMMARY:Dutch Bagley  “NYC Photography”
DESCRIPTION: June 2\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: Dutch Bagley will share his perspective on  “The Awe of Capturing Architecture” \n  \nDutch says\, “Photographing a city’s architecture is an enriching experience that allows you to capture the essence and character of urban landscapes. It is essential to identify the purpose of your photography. Are you aiming to capture the historical essence of the buildings\, create a portfolio for architectural firms\, or simply explore the aesthetic aspects of the structures? Knowing your purpose will guide your approach and the type of shots you seek. \n  \nWatch along as I demonstrate my process to identify\, capture and create the types of images that\, to my great fortune\, have been accepted into international competitions.” \n  \nDutch’s photographic education is a self-taught one\, exploring all aspects of image making. When capturing an image\, Dutch tries to see the final result\, ‘before’ pressing the shutter. He believes that what we observe\, feel and experience\, forms the core of one’s life’s story. Part of his story is reflected in photographic images taken in an instant of time\, in his world\, that here and now. The act of processing those images allows him to express how deeply\, either with awe\, joy or sadness\, those moments in time have affected him. His images are how he tells his story. \n  \nHe has been photographing for his pleasure since the 1970’s with large format cameras and some film and DSLR’s. In 2014 he joined his first camera club\, which evolved into becoming a member of many other clubs and photographic organizations\, entered national competitions and made photographic presentations to local clubs. His favorite subjects are: architecture primarily in NYC\, abandoned buildings and single exposure intentional camera movement. \n  \nSee Dutch’s work at https://www.photographsbydutch.net/
