Presenter’s Night:  Eileen Rafferty

Seeing in Black and White, Mimicking the Darkroom

Black and white photography still inspires and fascinates us today. Where once the darkroom was our playground, now we have powerful processing tools such as Adobe Photoshop. In this presentation we will explore creative methods for crafting a unique photographic image mimicking darkroom techniques and historical processes. We will cover various types of toning, adding custom borders, layering with textures, adding text and exploring custom brushes. Bring your curiosity and imagination!

BC/Yukon Inter-Club Speaker Series

Dianne Bos 

VCC will host the third speaker in this four-part series, beginning with a half hour showcase of some of our best photos.

Dianne Bos has evolved various thematic bodies of work, merging technical innovations to create new visual hybrids: her innovative uses of home-made pinhole cameras, film, camera obscura, photogram, installation and cyanotype all explore the world around us. “The excitement for me lies not in photographing and reproducing something I can see, but in revealing the imperceptible (and maybe only the imagined) using the physics of light and time and traditional darkroom techniques.
