October Meeting and Speaker Ben Salb: Macro Photography Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at 7 pm
We hold hybrid meetings at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Center in the Gardiner Room at 7 p m.
Our October speaker is Ben Salb, who will be showing techniques and examples of macro photography.
Ben Salb is a macro photographer who specializes in living invertebrate portraits. Originally from Wisconsin, his passion for photography grew while observing his (incredibly talented) sister as a wedding, family, and lifestyle portrait photographer. He eventually got his first real camera when he was stationed in Japan with the Navy, and it wasn’t until several years later when the pandemic started that he shifted his focus to macro photography.
Ben’s macro images have gained international attention for placing in both macro-specific and non-macro photography competitions, and has had images highlighted in Smithsonian Magazine, Amateur Photographer, Forbes, and The Guardian. Ben currently lives in Gaithersburg, MD with his wife and three young daughters and typically does most of his shooting and editing before the kids (and bugs) are up.
You can see more of Ben's work by visiting his Instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/bens_small_world/
This will be a hybrid meeting, with both in person attendance as well as on Zoom. The meeting is open to all, and visitors are welcome to attend. All Camera Clique members will receive the Zoom link in the first October email blast; non-members may request the link by emailing info@frederickcameraclique.org.
