PPANJ North Meeting - Oct.17th 2012



Topic-"The Classic Nude"

Presented By Ellen Denuto
 

Known for her intimate portraits and still life, Ellen Denuto's unique imagery begins with the beauty of available light.  The creative process is guided by the element of the unknown.  Traditional black and white photography, alternative applications and the latest digital technology are used to capture that magic moment in time and create the final image.

Keynote Presentation and narrative on The Classic Nude and The Intimate Portrait Workshops, which introduces participants to my work history and background accompanied by examples of intimate portraits that I have created for commercial clients, stock and fine art exhibition throughout my career.

The presentation illustrates the progression of how my earliest photographs evolved from personal portfolio pieces to stock images, commissions, and commercial jobs.

Topics such as light, color, form and gesture- body types, props, make-up, expression all combine to make or break the final image. Questions and discussion on the concept and creation of personal vision will be covered.

Biography

Ernst. H Tramposch, M.Photog. Cr. CPP.

The key to great photography is thinking outside the box. Portrait and wedding photography are no exceptions. The images should tell you a story with out the need for words. They should be natural, fun, romantic, emotional and even candid. My responsibility as a photographer is to see, feel and understand these moments, add personality and artistic flair ultimately capturing the true feeling and personalities of my clients.

Come spend some time and learn the secrets. Along with other great photographers, come have some fun and maybe even soak up some knowledge.
