Frank Richards will present "Leading The Eye"
The photographer can make the viewer's experience more rewarding by using design elements to direct and hold the viewer's attention. I will talk about how we can help the viewer's eye to enter the frame naturally,
be drawn to the center of interest and then provide paths to explore the entire image. This is an important part of creating a good composition and a memorable photograph.
After retiring 17 years ago, photography has provided a creative. I joined the Dallas Camera Club in 2005 and participate in the club's monthly competitions in the masters group. I have won numerous club awards in all competition categories.
I honed my photographic skills thru personal study, dialog with others and recently spent several years working my way through the photography and art courses at Richland College. I have also been fortunate to attend
workshops with internationally recognized photographers. I also teach photography classes and workshops.
My images have won local, regional and national competitions, and can be found in private and public collections. I have had winning images in the State Fair of Texas, Trinity River Contest, Heard Nature Photography Contest, PSA International Exhibition, North American Body Painting Championship (yep, you read that right) and a few more. I have been fortunate to have been published in a few newspapers, magazines,
calendars, websites and books.
My photographic interests are quite eclectic. My favorite subjects are landscapes, places and things.
