SUMMARY:January 5\, 2026 at 7:00 PM: Vince Pellegrini will present “In the Voice of Sam Abell”
DESCRIPTION:Sam Abell is a very well known\, former National Geographic Magazine photographer. He retired from Nat Geo in 2001 after 31 years there. The second phase of his photographic life has continued\, as will be demonstrated by his soon to be published two volume\, 400 page retrospective monograph. Abell was recently honored by his induction into the International Photography Hall of Fame. \nAbell is known as a documentary photographer who practices a very controlled & precise style. His images are immediately recognizable for their quietness & lack of much color. I have been drawn to Sam Abell’s work for many years. I find his photographic tenets to really suit me as a photographer. I finally fulfilled my dream of doing a workshop with Abell in May 2025. This was an intense\, full day experience over a week on Whidbey Island\, WA. It was without a doubt\, the best workshop that I have ever done. Abell poured out his heart while giving his all to the 9 participants. His words of wisdom were never ending.  \nI would like to share with the BPS members the knowledge that I received from Sam Abell over this very impactful week & how this has changed my approach to photography. I also want to share with members a little of my follow up work\, practicing the key principles that I learned during that memorable week in WA. I truly feel that everyone will be able to apply at least some of this message to their own work\, regardless of the genre. I hope that many will join.

SUMMARY:January 19\, 2026 at 7:00 PM: Jonathan Vaines will present “ME\, Myself & Eye”
DESCRIPTION:This talk is a follow up of a previous zoom session given to BPS by Jonathan. This time\, Jonathan will explore the world using in-camera techniques\, such as multiple exposure\, for creative imagery. During this session\, Jonathan will engage in post-processing enhancements to his captures. He will look at pictures that are single images & venture into some elaborate ways to make images from a number of multiple exposures. Jonathan is a specialist in the art of pastel images but also uses bold color to express his vision of the world. BPS will see a wide variety of visual art work in this enlightening talk. Welcome back Jonathan. \nJonathan Vaines is a very well-known photographer & educator from the UK. He took his first photograph in 2012\, joined his local club to work out what to do & soon moved on. He has since had many roles in his short photographic life. Jonathan has been the Regional Organizer for the Royal Photographic Society for five years & is currently the Judges’ Secretary for the East Anglian Federation (EAF) of Photographic Societies in Great Britain. In 2024\, he was invited to become a member of The London Salon of Photography. He is a tutor for PhotoClub 247\, the Royal Photographic Society & other organizations in addition to 1:1 teaching & mentoring. He is an A panel judge\, judging & lecturing at over 100 clubs throughout the UK each year. He is sponsored lecturer for Permajet\, the leading paper supplier in the UK\, as well as an affiliate of DxO Labs\, the photography software developer\, & Wex Photo Video for everything camera along with Qimage software for print applications. Jonathan is always busy somewhere in the world of photography.  \nJonathan’s image making started out as photographing anything\, but now he uses the camera to create what he sees as wall art. Multiple exposures along with some sort of camera distortion appears in almost all his work. He polishes the result in Adobe Photoshop. Jonathan feels that an image does not exist until it’s printed so he is helping to keep the ink & paper industry alive. He finds enjoyment from engaging with every image. He works with thoughts\, concepts & projects. It’s not about capturing the moment for Jonathan\, it’s about visualization & being able to deliver that in print. \nLearn more about Jonathan at the following locations: \n\n\nhttps://blueroomphoto.site123.me \n\n\nPhotoClub 247 for Photoshop teaching: https://photoclub247.com/jv/ \n\n\nDxO product discounts: enter Jonathan15  \n\n Qimage Ultimate app discount: https://www.ddisoftware.com/qucustomer/JonathanVaines/\n\nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation.
