"Human Landscapes" Jeff Fitzwater Opening Reception
Opening Reception for "Human Landscapes" exhibit.
Photographer Jeff Fitzwater creates images of community members sharing their stories, emotions, and connections to family and friends.
Artist Presentation/Workshop - Jeff Fitzwater
The presentation will take the form of a workshop explaining the process of how we create a face portrait similar to some of the ones in the exhibit. We will first ask for volunteers and draw a winner who will become our model for the presentation. While Nicole takes our volunteer model "behind the curtain" for hair and makeup (if needed), I will explain the process behind our idea and implementation creative process and begin to put together the portrait "box" that they will use for the shot. The lighting process is really very easy to produce and create a great portrait. We'll shoot several images with a variety of lighting and with everyone watching and giving input. We will then put up the images on screen and choose the "best" one. We'll show the editing steps and give them a digital file as a "thank you!"
