MCC Virtual Meeting – Guest Speaker: Craig Wetjen – Environmental Portraiture
Members please join us on Zoom (only) for this week’s guest speaker – Craig Wetjen, he will be talking on Environmental Portraiture. He’ll also do a live shoot “on air” as part of the presentation.
Bio – Hailing from the USA, Craig Wetjen moved to Australia in 1996, he introduced one of the country’s first digital photography subjects in a university, at RMIT. The dawn of digital photography during that year was far different to the photography we know today.
In over three decades working in the photography industry, Craig has won countless awards around the world. His method remains constant in the knowledge that a photographer learns from every one of their images. Whether your photograph is an award-winning piece, or it is the final photograph you deliver to a client, you will always take something away.
Craig has a great passion for not only the captured image but the many facets that go into creating an image. He is dedicated to creativity, superior quality, exceptional service and an enjoyable experience in capturing a perfect moment or someone’s personality, with natural expressions along with being an educator and mentor in the craft of photography.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

At the next meeting of the Digital Editing Group on Monday 19 July, we will have a special guest presenter, Adrian Donoghue.
Adrian’s work is influenced by artists like Jeffrey Smart and Edward Hooper. Using digital photographic capture of a moment in time, Adrian blends together his projects to capture the surreal starkness of urban landscapes, often with the inclusion of a single human form. While his work may best be described as digital art, it is derived from the traditions of street photography. Some of his work can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/adriandonoghue/?hl=en
Adrian will share with us a discussion of his works and techniques.
