On Wednesday, April 8th, we will welcome guest speaker Andris Apse. Andris is a world-renowned landscape photographer based in New Zealand. He will present The Psychology Of Color, and discuss his interest in the work of some 16th and 17th century artists and share paintings that illustrate how these artists concentrated on mood, using color to add an extra dimension to their work. Andris will, of course, also talk about his own work and how he learned to simplify his landscape images and create mood.
During a photography career that has spanned more than forty years, Andris has earned numerous National and International photography awards, including the Olympus International Photographer of the Year. In 2010, Andris was named a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. He was named an Honorary Fellow of the New Zealand Professional Photographers Association and an Honorary Fellow of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers. Andris was selected as a guest exhibiter at the Photography Hall Of Fame in the U.S. He has published more than a dozen books of his photography. Andris lives with his partner Lynne in Diamond Harbour, Canterbury, NZ where he runs a gallery and sells his prints and books.

On April 15th, we will meet at D&R Greenway, One Preservation Place, Princeton, NJ 08540 for our Monthly In-Person Meeting. This meeting will be a Critique Session led by fellow club member Samuel Vovsi. Critiques are a great opportunity to exchange opinions, learn what other people think about our work, and help us become better photographers. All are invited to share either a single photo or a cohesive series of at most 3 images for discussion, constructive suggestions, and friendly critique. Even if you don’t have images to show at this time, we hope that you will join the meeting and participate in the discussion.
On April 22nd, we will have another installment of our popular Before And After photo sharing meeting, where you will be invited to share a photo straight from the camera (without any edits) as well as your final edited version.
And finally, on April 29th, we will have an online preview of our annual Member Exhibition opening at Lakefront Gallery in early May, led by fellow club member John Stritzinger.
