It will be a treat to have a virtual presentation by historic preservation photographer John Milleker, who will speak about the types of alternative processes still available to practitioners in 2020 with plenty of history, examples and descriptions of the how each highlighted process works. He'll show some demonstration videos on these processes, as well.
John is a full time, classically trained professional photographer serving Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the entire East Coast of the United States. With over 20 years of experience in film, digital and alternative process photography he enjoys practicing, teaching and demonstrating nearly every aspect of photography from traditional processes to modern.
In addition to private portrait sessions and both workshops and private lessons, thousands of spectators have enjoyed his presentations and demonstrations on several photographic processes in classrooms, clubs, events and historical locations where he enjoys sharing his passion with others.
Nothing brings John more joy than the thought of his work being loved and admired for generations. Photographs, prints and plates of people, places or things - they all carry the same excitement. No matter if he’s behind the camera, in the darkroom, speaking to a group on photography or hanging out of an airplane shooting for an assignment, he knows he’s made the right choice for his career and loves every minute of it.
At the end of the day, he cherishes all photographic history, processes and artifacts and enjoys the thought that through our lessons, workshops, kids classes or presentations someone will take the torch and help continue to keep the history of photography alive.
With the extra free time from the cancellation of nearly every scheduled in-person event, workshop and photography session in 2020, John has focused on bringing more of his passion online. This includes a new website, YouTube and Instagram accounts, a interactive Patreon platform and a new photographic art and history podcast called ‘Under a Red Glow.’
Visitors are always welcome to attend our meetings. Please send email to info@frederickcameraclique.org to RSVP; you will be contacted with meeting information just before the October 14 meeting date.
