Our meeting is next week, May 8, in person (hybrid) at the Delaplaine with member Becky Carpenter. Details about the speaker and her topics are below.
Vintage Textures and Composites in Art & Photographing Figures in Abandoned Spaces with Rebecca Carpenter
Rebecca Carpenter (Becky) will demonstrate some of ways to use vintage textures and Photoshop to age/alter your photographs. She will also discuss photographing figures in abandoned spaces …. including some tips and tricks to compose an interesting image of a person in an abandoned space. Becky will have lots of examples in her Power Point presentation so Zoom viewers can also see how she composites various layers to create vintaged images. She will also bring many examples in person so club members can see how vintage textures are used in various ways to enhance a photograph and in 3-D collages.
Rebecca lives in Morgantown, PA now, but lived for five years in Frederick. She is primarily a photographer, but also loves to work with mixed media collage and sculpture. She taught art for sixteen years K-12 throughout the country and works as a full-time artist now. She loves to photograph the figure in nature and abandoned spaces. She has several series that she creates art for and creates composited art as well as straight photography. She began collecting vintage items about a decade ago when starting a series incorporating time. She collects vintage books, letters, and journals and scans the pages and covers and edits in Photoshop to use with her composites.
