A visit to a more local art gallery today, to view a photographic exhbition of four photographers's work 'The Focus Group' who meet up regularly and exhibit thier work.
Janey is one of those photographers, and her section of the exhibition was a collection of 10 abstract inner city street images. She collaboraated with with a group of poets to put words to her images, which has made them all the more powerful to view.
Janey kindly posed for a couple of photos for me, - it is very daunting to photograph a photographer you don't know!! I chatted with Janey about her work and how she gets her images - she uses a Holga lens. Very kinldy she said she was interested in my my 365 and AYWMC projects. I'm going to e-mail her the portrait ( quite a daunting prospect as she's a FRPS and this image is not very sharp) .
Janey has her own website if you'd like to see more of her stunning and varied work.
What a fabulous photo of her. This looks like something she would use on a brochure about her exhibit. Thanks for the link to her interesting work also.
Good work getting out of your comfort zone and taking the picture! I'm sure she will appreciate it and appreciate the time spent with a fellow photographer. What does FRSP mean?
@kuva Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society - cant get a lot higher than that!! @grammyn isn't her work amazing!! @wakelys but that kingfisher series on the wal.....................!! @pompadoorphotography very kind, thank you
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Whoa!! That's cool. I still say send it to her! :) It's worth it for the connection and continued communication with such a talented photographer, even if it's not your favorite photo ever.
What a wonderful opportunity to chat with this seasoned photographer. Nice portrait. I imagine she'd be flattered. BTW, B&H has a Holga lens for $15.99 (US) for a Canon DSLR. Relatively cheap fun.
Well done. I heard someone say the other day 'when you are out of your comfort zone that it is good, means you are challenging yourself and learning'. Go for it!
Nice portrait and I will check out the link thanks.
