Presentation Time: 9 AM MT
Speaker: Beth Buelow
Beth Buelow is a Michigan-based artist, coach, and educator specializing in abstract and minimalist photography. Beth's creative philosophy is simple: If you’re not amazed, you’re not paying attention. Inspired by Walt Whitman’s words, "I am large, I contain multitudes," Beth's photography reflects a multifaceted approach, both in subject matter and aesthetic. If there’s one constant, it’s her playful, often unexpected perspective on nature, architecture, and everyday objects. She is the host of the PIXELS podcast, runs creativity mastermind groups and photography retreats, and teaches and mentors with a focus on abstract approaches. In addition to photography, she loves creating cyanotypes, Zentangles, and alcohol ink art.
Presentation Title: Creating Personally Iconic Imagery (Epic Location Not Required)
Presentation Description:
There's a drive photographers share to seek out and capture iconic locations, landmarks and vistas. After all, those scenes are likely part of what drew us to photography in the first place. But as popular locations become more crowded and vulnerable, we're challenged to temper that drive and seek out new horizons.
Instead of relying on photographing iconic locations, what if we focused on creating more personally iconic images? We'll turn a few definitions on their head and look at how to release "epic location FOMO" in service to creating a body of work that reflects your distinct vision.
