Photography workshops – What to expect, What to plan for and What you get out of them
Lynn Fergusson

This webinar will take you through the planning, preparation and what to expect when participating in a photography workshop as well as the benefits of attending. The presentation will be based on Lynn’s experience in attending the Alpine Artistry Workshop put on by the Offbeat Photography Community in Banff National Park. Her journey before, during and after the workshop will be explored via images and stories of the places they visited, photographed and the opportunities given to practice what they learned. The adventure continues with images and experiences from her time in Waterton Lakes National Park following the workshop.
 
Bio:
Lynn Fergusson is a multi-genre amateur photographer from Dartmouth NS who loves to be outdoors which is where the focus of her photography (Landscape, wildlife, and ICM) takes place. Although always interested, she didn’t get serious about photography until joining a Photography meetup group back in late 2012. This provided the opportunity to learn from like-minded individuals and started her on the journey that she continues to this day. Lynn is always looking for opportunities to learn and grow by attending workshops, conferences, hanging out with other photographers and trying new things.
Lynn has had photographs published in various magazines including BBC Wildlife Magazine, Saltscapes, Our Canada and was included in the Canadian Geographic Best Wildlife Photography 2021 & 2022 editions. Her photos have won or have been recognized in a variety of local and international photo competitions.

Black and White Digital Expression
David Laronde

David’s presentation will focus on how he expresses his images in black and white. To do this he will discuss what subjects look best when expressed as a black and white image, what to look for in a subject, and how he processes his black and white images. His presentation will show how he captures and adjusts his images in black and white so that they become meaningful images to him.
 
Bio:
David Laronde has spent the last 40 years of his photographic career thinking about shape, form, and colour. That’s an odd thing to say for someone giving a presentation on expression in black and white photographic imagery, but black and white images are not just images with the absence of colour as colours translate differently in black and white. The inspiration for all his images has always been to photograph moments that were meaningful to him and black and white can often impress a different meaning than a colour image.

David Laronde is a Canadian photographer based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, although he is hardly there,  preferring to split his time between the ski resort of Whistler and the lake community of Osoyoos, both of which are also in British Columbia.

David has been designated by the Professional Photographers of America as a Certified Professional Photographer and as a Master Professional Photographer. His credentials outside the professional world include FCAPA, APSA, ARPS, and EFIAP/diamond 1.
