Hello, Firstname |

Tomorrow we welcome Polina Plotnikova to our screens, when she will be presenting her talk Starting from a Blank Canvas. Polina is a very accomplished picture maker based in South East England who will be talking by the magic of Zoom. This is a two part presentation featuring Creative Flowers and Still Life photography in the studio and focusing on how to start creating an image in your mind's eye and proceed to taking photographs only after all details have been thought through complete with historical references and technical tips. Polina says of her talk:

Flowers and still life are my favourite photography subjects. Still life in particular is perfect for a perfectionist like me – no one fidgets or makes faces, no sudden gust of wind or some other quirk of ever-changing weather can spoil your shot. But, by the same token, you cannot count on something interesting that just happens all of a sudden – it is all up to you; the choices are infinite, and the final result is entirely in your own hands.
The approach to flower photography that I take is somewhat similar to that of a portrait photographer – for every flower and plant that I photograph, I always try to find its unique look, study its mood and character, and ultimately unlock the hidden beauty of my models. A successful flower portrait attempts to discover something unique in a flower, something hidden or not necessarily obvious at first sight.While appreciating the natural beauty of plants and trying to stay true to their original look, I do not limit my point of view to purely botanical. Instead, I try to lift a flower off its typical setting and put it into indeterminate space, where its beauty can be seen in all its purity.

Newsletter Flagged up as Dangerous! |
Several members received on screen warnings before opening last week's issue of the newsletter, which to some less adventurous souls may have been pretty offputting. You can rest assured that there is nothing wrong with the newsletter, its just that some anti-virus programmes and some email programmes see contained URLs as a potential threat. Just to be on the safe side, YMLP who host our newsletter, have switched us to a different domain in an attempt to reduce these false warnings. |
Thanks to BPS member, Dave Lawlan for the following:
