“The Art of Travel Photography”

Sedona News – Join the Sedona Camera Club for a presentation by professional photographer Scott Stulberg.   The meeting starts at 6:00 pm on Monday,  October 28, 2024, at Christ Lutheran Church, 25 Chapel Road, Sedona.  Doors open at 5:30.

Scott will provide many of the insights needed to create great travel images and become a better travel photographer.  He will talk about how to push digital photography well beyond capturing ordinary snapshots.   Scott will show many examples of travel photography from all over the world and explain his thought process and workflow from beginning to end.  The emphasis will be on how to create more compelling images and how to push ourselves to think differently.

He will cover the essential gear, great travel destinations, how to prepare ideas and do research before you travel, scouting and logistics, capturing people while you travel, critiquing your own work and much more.

Scott will also go extensively into time of day for your images from sunrise to sunset and also shooting after dark which can be one of the best times of the day to shoot travel images.

It’s hard to find the love of your life at age ten, but Scott found it when he got his first camera at that age.  And at age 13, things really changed when his father built a darkroom in their basement.  From that young age, in his darkroom, under the safelights, smelling chemicals and listening to music, he lost all track of time watching his images come to life.

Although he has been using Photoshop since the beginning, it was the countless hours in the darkroom that made him fall in love with photography. He agrees with Einstein’s quote that “Imagination is more important than knowledge” as he says that his photographs lets his imagination come to life.

Scott has taught photography at many schools in the US including UCLA Extension, where he won Instructor of the year for Photography and Photoshop.  He also leads photography workshops in the US and across the world.  His coffee table book, Passage to Burma, showcases his travels since 2001 to his favorite country on earth.

From greeting cards, calendars, puzzles, magazine covers, book covers and bill boards, his images are used internationally.  They are in countless collections from top 5 star resorts to major hospitals & department stores, prestigious galleries and are also on permanent display in the United Nations.  Scott lives with his wife in the picturesque town of Sedona, Arizona.
