Presentation Time: 9 AM PT
Speaker: Jim Peterson
Award-winning Phoenix (formerly Sedona) photographer Jim Peterson grew up in northwestern New Mexico and has lived on both coasts (in California and Delaware) as well many places in the Midwest and the West. He attended the University of Chicago, earning a B.A. in Music and a PhD in Biochemistry. He first took up photography while in graduate school, and his interest in it persisted while he worked as a research Biochemist for five years and then moved on to a long career as an engineer, planner, and manager in the Telecommunications industry. Upon retirement, he rekindled his lifelong artistic interests by starting a professional photography business. His fine art photography has been featured in numerous galleries, exhibits, and publications and has been purchased by collectors worldwide. Jim’s work is inspired by a lifelong love of the natural world - which was a very predictable result of growing up in the Southwest. If his images convey a bit of reverence for our threatened planet and its beautiful territories and inhabitants, then he feels that he is happily serving his mission. Beginning over a decade ago, Jim has embraced infrared photography to broaden his range of artistic expression. An extensive collection of his works can be seen and purchased at www.SedonaJim.photos.
Presentation Title: Introduction to Digital Infrared Photography
Presentation Description:
Infrared Photography was invented over a century ago, and it has been used for a wide range of technical purposes ever since. It has also been exploited widely by fine art and commercial photographers to expand their range of expression, with fascinating and - sometimes – outlandish results. The advent of digital cameras has made infrared photography much more accessible and has also advanced the range of artistic expression even further. This presentation provides an overview of how infrared photography works and how it can be used to create a remarkable variety of different looks. It also provides an introduction to the gear (cameras and lenses) that a photographer would use to get started with it and provides links to sources for more information and to providers who can convert your digital camera to capture infrared light.
