"From All Angles: Abstract Geometric Architecture"
by Dan Waterman-RI
Monday, November 1, 7:30 PM


In this presentation, Dan will discuss a modernist approach to abstract architecture inspired by the style of Group f.64 and the Zone System, with strong emphasis on geometry and compositional techniques. He'll explain his thought process before and during a shoot, how to use a variety of lenses for architecture-from ultrawide to super-telephoto, and post-processing tools using Photoshop to create compelling architectural imagery. The discussion will be rooted in the importance of inspiration in the creative process, leading to actionable tools and exercises photographers can use to hone their compositional eye and take their abstract imagery to the next level.
