SOG photo classes designed to aid artists
Southern Oregon Guild (SOG) is offering two new classes designed to help artists and others create the quality photographs needed to sell their work or get into juried shows or galleries.
The first class will be held Saturday, July 28; the second on Saturday, Aug. 18. Both will be at the SOG Artists Center & Gallery in the RCC Learning Center in Kerby. SOG President Jerry Work will teach both classes.
By the end of these two sessions, students should be able to comfortably come into the Artists Center, use the photographic equipment, and walk away with excellent, properly lighted photos of their work.
The July 28 session is about properly controlling exposure and white balance to obtain optimum results while photographing art work or other objects for sale or display. Students will learn how to control exposure, as well as how to manipulate exposure and the white balance settings on digital cameras and in photo editing software to create stunning presentations.
This class runs from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 28. The cost is $5 for SOG members and $15 for nonmembers.
The Aug. 18 session will be a hands-on work shop, “Studio Lighting for Perfection.” This will be a four-hour workshop starting at 10 a.m. with a break for lunch from noon to 1 p.m.
Students will receive instruction and practice in how to set up and use SOG’s backdrops, lighting and light boxes with their own or the Guild’s cameras and lenses to photograph (a) large three-dimensional objects like furniture, (b) smaller 3-D objects like jewelry and pottery, and (c) flat objects including paintings, drawings and maps.
The fee for this workshop is $10 for Guild members; $20 for nonmembers. To sign up for one or both classes, phone Work at 592-5360, or SOG at 592-5019.
