SUMMARY:Ginnie Lodge will present ideas on “Still Life Photography”
DESCRIPTION:October 6\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: Ginnie Lodge will present ideas on “Still Life Photography” \nStill Life images have been around for centuries. A fresco found in the ruins of Pompeii depicts a still life of food items on a platter. Of course\, ancient still life images were made with paint and brush. We’ll be talking about creating still life images with our cameras. \nGinnie will share the many elements that go into creating a still life photograph: composition\, light\, color\, balance\, etc. She will also talk about where to get inspiration and objects to include in the image\, as well as how to process the image after the fact to add your own creative touch. \nStill life is a genre of photography that can be done no matter what the weather! It allows the photographer to have control over the light\, the subject\, and the story being told. \nGinnie is a BPS member who loves to experiment behind the camera. She is always up for a challenge and loves to push herself to improve her photography. \nYou can see Ginnie’s work at ginnielodge.com/still-life. \n  \n

Gain valuable insights into the diverse applications of AI\, including the groundbreaking AI features in Photoshop\, alongside a range of other cutting-edge AI tools. We’ll look at how these tools can be combined to open up a whole new world of creativity.” \n  \nBert Sirkin apprenticed at with a Professional Photographer in Boston when he was 18 years old and has done part-time Professional Photography since he was 19 years old.
