September 8th Speaker Night — Matthew G. Schmidt “Everyday Abstract”
LPC meetings resume from our Summer break on Thursday, September 8, at 7:00 PM. Our speaker will be Matthew G. Schmidt, on “Everyday Abstracts” with some related points concerning visual design.
Matthew is a photography enthusiast with a strong attraction to abstract two-dimensional art. He has spent years developing techniques to express his vision through photography. Some techniques are in-camera, while others are in Photoshop, Lightroom and Nik filters. Matthew’s vocation is a Systems Engineer providing subject matter expertise in computers and communications.
Matthew spends his free time on a variety of photography-related ventures. As the NVACC webmaster he handles submissions for the Annual Abstract Photography Exhibit. At SoFoBoMo Matthew assists photographers who produce a photo book in one month. He judges competitions and presents on subjects from software use to visual design.
Matthew’s favorite techniques are macro, panning and multiple exposures. He gravitates toward cut glass, flowers, trees, architectural details and motorsports. Regardless, he enjoys good photography in all forms.
