Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 05 July
Provo Canyon - 10am - 2 Hours
Bryce Giesmann
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

We'll also focus on collaborating with your subject to capture their personality and style, covering posing techniques and how to set your subject at ease. Technical skills such as accurate focusing and metering for skin tones will also be discussed.

Note: We encourage you to bring a friend or family member to be your model. Practicing with someone familiar will enhance your learning experience.

Street Photography Meetup

Street Photography Meetup

Saturday 02 August
Downtown Provo - 10am - 2 Hours
Bryce Giesmann
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    "Bryce Giesmann is a retired full-time Art Educator and Yearbook Advisor who has transitioned into a dedicated artist career after 20 years in education. Originally from Waverly, Iowa, Bryce holds a BA in Fine Arts with a Minor in Education from Luther College in Decorah. His early artistic journey was marked by a focus on oil landscapes, reflecting a deep connection to semi-abstract painting techniques.

    Bryce's artistic practice took a significant turn when he moved to Wyoming and began grappling with clinical depression. To navigate this challenging period, he turned to photography, a medium that swiftly evolved from a hobby into a profound obsession. This new creative direction led him to pursue an MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design, which he completed in 2019.

    This photo was taken during a bucket list trip to drive the White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park. All the research I did stated the absolute best place to camp was at the White Crack camp site. This turned out to be true. Though there were no clouds to for the sunset I had hoped for, the colors of the sun setting over the red rock were amazing.
