PART 1: PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR WORK
We are joined today by Wendy McDougall, professional photographer.
www.wendymcdougall.com.au
Wendy will discuss the basics of photography: light (natural v. artificial),
framing, using your phone / digital cameras, positioning your work.
Wendy has asked if members could please bring print outs of photos of
garments that didn't work. Please print them (as opposed to iPad / computer)
- this is easier for discussion purposes.
1200 1215
Morning tea - Margarita Lautier, Maria Davidson & Jen Howlett.
1215 - 1245
PART 2: PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR WORK
Our greatest issues - colour and texture plus should it be flat or worn?
How best to photograph a vivid red scarf, a cabled jumper, some lace work
and a black pullover. Please bring those tricky items - we hope to discuss
as many as possible on the day. (Please be aware, Wendy is here to help us
with tips on how best we can photographically represent our garments - not
to take pro photos for us. Thank you for your understanding)
1245 - 1300.
Time permitting, we'll finish up with a brief Q & A.
If we can, show & tell.
We have TBC people booked in this month to Learn To Knit.
We have Sue Frost & Sally Ogilvie who have agreed to teach today. Jen
Howlett and Margarita Lautier have also agreed to stay and teach if needed.
Thank you to our volunteer teachers for this month.
