Betsy Wilson will explore the world of still life photography through her unique perspective. A combination of traditional still life subjects, nature's fascinating still subjects, and a few whimsical and unusual creations, Betsy's still lifes provide studies in composition and lighting. Unlike landscape or street photography, the photographer is in complete control of subject matter, composition, shape, color, depth of field, lighting and presentation. The true skill lies in the ability to take something mundane and everyday out of its normal habitat and transform it into something of beauty by using our skills as photographers.

Betsy began learning photography after retiring from a career as a newspaper publisher. Her husband Jim gave her his hand-me-down camera and a lot of encouragement, and she has never looked back. Her passion for photography includes a wide variety of types including macro, landscape and nature photography. In addition to being honored as Photographer of the Year Award at the Chester County Camera Club, she has received numerous recognitions for her artistic photography including a Silver Medal awarded at the Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography, and First Place Award in Photography at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Betsy is an active member of the Chester County Camera Club, and has given numerous presentations for area camera clubs.

Topic: Making the Case for Black & White in Photography
We live in a world of color- it dominates much of the what we see on the internet, social media, publications etc. However, what is the impact on a scene or subject when presented in absence of color?
Mike Baker will share his perspective on Black and White (B&W) photography including tips on pre-visualization; that is, learning to form an image in your mind’s eye on how a scene will translates to B&W before clicking the shutter. This will help the photographer to hone in on subjects and compositional elements that translate well into black and white. Additionally, Mike will provide examples of subjects that lend itself well to Black and White.
In the end, you’ll discover that you’ll start to look at the world differently. You’ll become more aware of light – its quality and its direction. You’ll become a better photographer for it.
Bio:
Mike Baker is an award-winning and published fine art photographer based in the Chicagoland area. Two of his greatest passions in life are travel and photography. Traveling on family vacations as a youngster helped to develop Mike’s desire to see places outside of his home state of Maryland. Further travel through previous military and current work assignments further broadened his view of the world via experiencing other cultures. Mike has been very fortunate to have traveled throughout North America, Europe and Asia (China), including his most recent adventures to Cuba. Both travel and photography has made Mike better appreciate his own home and culture as well as the people and lands he’s visited. ​Artist Statement Photography is an art of observation. It offers a creative outlet that allows Mike to capture interesting subjects in an ordinary place, transforming it into something extraordinary. Over the course of his photographic journey, Mike has developed that inner eye, that 3rd Eye that provides perception beyond ordinary sight. His work is most notable in the area of architecture, city-scape, and long exposure monochrome photography. Mike takes time to study his subjects, searching for patterns, shapes, light and shadow, and develops the image from this standpoint. Offering a surreal quality, Mike's images offer visions that often remain observed with suggested interpretations open to one's imagination.
