A Photo Essay of 3 Images

A photo essay is a form of visual storytelling, a way to present a narrative through a series of images that can evoke emotion and understanding without using words.

Here we are looking for 3 images that work together as a group and explore a theme, a place, an emotional mood, or a vision. There is no restriction on subject matter. The three images should be either all in colour or in b/w. Should you wish, you may add a short descriptive title to the set of images.

Raymond Aubin: In Search for the Photographic Haiku

Meeting link: https://meet2.raphotoclub.ca/b/adm-spv-woy-iac

The haiku is a short-form Japanese poetry tied to Zen Buddhism. Many have pointed out the parallel between haiku and photography. Raymond Aubin will share his experience in transposing the codes of haiku into photography. In particular, he will discuss 3:1 panoramas as photographic haikus. He will describe his aesthetic choices, the equipment he used, his shooting technique, and his post-processing method. He will complete his talk by commenting several of the panoramas he created as part of this project.

Fall/Winter Competition

We are using the CAPA definition for this topic. In terms of the topic CAPA says "This competition and its themes are aimed at providing photographers with the opportunity to exercise their creative skills: to capture outstanding and stunning images in areas that may be out of their comfort zones. Images submitted into this competition can be staged or candid.” It also suggests that the images should fall into one of the following five themes: The Cold, Man-made Structures/Objects, Culinary, Active Seniors, and Nature/Wildlife. A more detailed explanation of each of these themes can be found under Competition Details/Definition at https://capacanada.ca/2023-fall-winter-dautomne-2023/
