Richard Martin Presenting in November

KSCCC is pleased to announce that Richard Martin will be giving a presentation entitled “Virtual Rhythm: Lines and Curves” on Friday, November 5^th, 2021.

Richard Martin is a long-time contributor to Photo Life magazine and pursues photography as a medium of visual expression. He is best known for his unique vision with a personal style characterized by a strong sense of composition, colour, and the use of light. His work combines an architectural love of geometry, pattern and texture with a painter’s sensitivity to the creative art of executing aesthetic. Richard inspires participants with his photography and visual design workshops, tours, and seminars around the world.

Photographer’s Rights, Copyrights, Ethics, & Etiquette

The Mississauga Camera Club has invited KSCCC members to attend their next workshop: Photographer’s Rights, Copy Rights, Ethics & Etiquette

We all love photography but sometimes we wonder:

Can I take that photo?
Is it legal to take that image?
Am I breaking any laws?
Will I get into trouble?
Is it morally or ethically right to take this image?
Do I need a model release?
What should I have in a model release?
What rights do I have as a photographer?
How is my work protected?

These and many more questions will be answered in the 1.5 hour presentation and open to questions afterwards.

About the instructor: Peter Gatt

I always wanted to have a career were I could be in nature all day. I first got a taste of Photography in High School. I enjoyed it so much; that I decided to go to Humber College to pursue it as a career. After working in the photographic retail field for many years, I have found many people asking me questions about photography and if I could help them with photography and help them improve their skills as well.

In 2000, I was asked to create and teach classes at the Henry’s School of Imaging. In 2006, I decide to start my own school, the School of Photography.

Time: 9:00 am until 11:00 am

Date: October 23rd

Welcome to the 2021/22 Season of the KSCCC

As hot, humid days of August make way for hopefully cooler days of September, the Kanata Seniors’ Centre Camera Club (KSCCC) is busy getting organized for our 2021/22 season.

With the ongoing restrictions concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be meeting virtually for the foreseeable future. We hope that as soon as it is safe to do so, we will reconvene our in-person meetings.

Our upcoming season promises to be interesting for all our Club members, with presentations by a range of external speakers and Club members, monthly photo challenges, special photographic topics and plenty of opportunities to share our experiences, as well as learn and practice new photographic and photo editing techniques.

Here are some details for our first meeting of the new season:

Date and Time: Friday, September 10^th, 2021 at 9:15 a.m.
Venue: Virtual using the Google Meet platform
Presenter: Javier Frutos, Creative Director, Photographer and Photo Editor at Canadian Geographic & The Royal Canadian Geographical Society

Don’t forget to send in your photos for the KSCCC Summer Challenge “Canada, eh!”. Your submissions are due by noon, September 3^rd, 2021.

Additional details of the meeting on September 10^th will be sent out shortly.
