Architecture Photography

Saturday 06 January
Midtown - 9am - 2 Hours
Nashville Photography Society
Meghna Bhakta
Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Abstract Photography

Abstract Photography

Saturday 13 January
Midtown - 9am - 2 Hours
Nashville Photography Society
Meghna Bhakta
Abstract photography involves capturing a subject in a way that renders it either partially or completely unrecognizable, emphasizing instead on the interplay of shapes, colors, and form.

In this workshop, we will explore the art of creating striking and thought-provoking images through the use of abstraction.

Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process of understanding and applying the principles of abstract photography, including composition, color, and texture. We will cover topics such as finding inspiration in everyday objects, experimenting with different angles and perspectives.

Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 24 February
Otter Creek Road, Oak Hill - 9am - 2 Hours
Nashville Photography Society
Meghna Bhakta
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.

I loved the painting but did not love the long hike with all our equipment. Maybe a shorter hike or indoor painting?

ARTISTS
Paige van der Wolf
Hi, I'm Paige! I grew up in the Nashville area but just moved back home after many years living in New York City and The Netherlands. I have worked in high-level arts my entire life, but instead of creating things myself, I was the person who made everyone else's visions come to life. I actually used to think that I wasn't a "creative person"!

After my move to Europe, I suddenly had time on my hands and an irresistible urge to create. I went to my local discount store and bought the cheapest supplies I could find in a ton of different mediums. I tried them all and watercolor stuck! I fell in love with it and haven't stopped painting since.

I am thrilled to be joining Nashville Watercolor Group as an instructor. At my meet-ups and classes, you can expect to find a warm welcome, an empowering place to create, and maybe even a few new friends. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Paige van der Wolf is available for private bookings

Available most Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm. Also available on occasional weekdays.
Private tutoring, lessons, parties, and commissions.

iCandy is my take on our ever increasing use of smart phones as a source of distraction. It is also a spoof of the marketing of these devices, and the marketing world as a whole, using design asthetics from candy and toy products and advertisements from my childhood in the 80's, particularly the ones emblazoned on my subconscious that played repeatedly during Saturday morning cartoons.

Title or Location: Ted?s Beach, Lake Peddar
This stop on the shores of Lake Peddar in the Southwest National Park in Tasmania was beautifully wild and chilly. Snow on the mountain range behind, and the tannin stained waters of Ted?s beach are what I tried to capture in this beginners watercolour. My technique has improved since then but this scene is still a favourite.

Title or Location: Mrs. Korman
As a girl I lived in a small community of nearly all Italian immigrants or first generation to USA. One lady stuck in my memory because she always wore a kerchief, as she picked fresh dandelion greens for her salad lunch. We kids were a "tribe"every morning running through the field next to her small home smashing the young greens. She would run out shaking her fist yelling "Youse Kids! Youse is CaCa! Youse kids is Shit!! Our mother put a stop to us running through the field. So I made this p
