Rocester and Uttoxeter Camera Club

Our Next Club Meeting is 15th April 2025

when we host by Zoom, EJ Lazenby - BA(HONS) FINE ART, LRPS, ASEA, QTFE2, BPE5*, EFIAP/S, DPAGB, FMPA, AWPF

From Paintbrush to Pixels.

Janey will deliver this talk via Zoom to the clubroom and will look at her creative pathway from her roots as an equine portrait artist through to a successful fine art photography... some words from the lady herself;


'Over the last 10 years the images I take are being seen as 'art' in their own right; the capture of light, the narrative, the staging, makeup and styling, compositions and now, editing effects and Photoshop image manipulation creating final pieces that have a more magical quality. In this way I feel I am combining my skill as a traditional painter with my passion of photography and using Photoshop to blend the two together creating an original vision.......

My horse obsession often comes to the fore; a horse owner since my childhood has led to competing, judging, breeding and breaking-in horses as well as a stint as a lead-rein mum! Then equine painter and equine photographer, I also make my own halters and create ornate faux armour..

I love to take an idea from conception, put my twist on the styling and editing and then present my unique vision as wall art, album collections or simply memories to treasure...'

Our previous Club Meeting was 1st April - when we hosted our 5th and last competition of the season with the subject Flora & Fauna. 

 

Judged by Darron Matthews FRPS EPAGB EFIAP ABPE

Darron's third visit to the club as a judge or guest speaker made for a very interesting evening.  With his relaxed approach he appraised each image with care giving invaluable critique.  Congratulations to our members for their winning and commended images. 

Darron is a multi-award winning nature photographer and is a member at Lichfield Camera Club and Smethwick Photography Society.
