This meet-up will explore how we can take beautiful portraits using natural light and backgrounds.

We will explore how we can work collaboratively with our subject to achieve a portrait that captures their personality and style. We will also look at posing and setting your subject at ease. Technical learning points will include accurate focusing and metering for skin tones. A model is present during the session.

The City at Night

The City at Night

Friday 20 June
Downtown Modesto - 9pm - 2 Hours
Modesto Photography Group
Sarina Schieferstein
Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

Title or Location: The Pour
?The Pour?by Ben Cipponeri Jr.This piece began with texture. I used a palette knife to build the background, layering color tones that simply felt right?tones that, to me, carried good energy and harmony. There was no formula, just instinct and emotion. I wanted the foundation of the painting to feel like a conversation you lean into?honest, textured, and warm.At the center is a wine bottle. It looks homemade, unpretentious, and quietly personal. That was intentional. I?ve always belie

Title or Location: Through the coral reef
This piece was created while attending an art retreat by Milan Art Institute in Sarasota, Florida. The theme of the retreat was beneath the surface. I combined two images to add the mermaid in the background of the turtle image, creating a unique source. This painting combines collage, acrylic ink, spray paint, acrylic paint and is finished off with oil paint to encompass texture and vibrancy. As a New Englander I love being on or around the water. This piece brought out my passion for sea life

This pop of spring is created on 6x6 ceramic tile, mounted on glass and inserted in a 8x8 shadow box. I am a fluid, acrylic artist. The background was created by transferring a ?pour? with the main subject painted with fluid acrylics using a plastic spoon. Those spoons aren?t just for takeout. Embellishments are my touch of whimsy.

Title or Location: Bournville Rest house in winter
I took up oil painting after retiring from the the NHS. Bournville looks stunning on a snowy day when the sun is shining. I worked this from a photo I took when the light was perfect. The colours of snow are magical. It is never white. The perspective on the Rest house is quite challenging!
