EDUCATION PROGRAM: Shuttered by Quarantine: Finding PhotographIc Opportunities in a Pandemic

When the pandemic hit, the ability to safely move about, interact with others, or travel, became greatly hindered. To stave off cabin fever but still keep his eyes and mind sharp, Brian Truono went looking for ways to find photographic opportunities all around him. Utilizing old equipment buried in the back of the closet, the light close at hand, and wondering what is even possible with everyday objects, he set off on a journey to nowhere but home.

Brian will show some techniques that he experimented with during quarantine and other intriguing projects he tinkering with; from photographing family members, household items, using reverse-lens macro photography, microscopy photos, programming a Raspberry Pi camera, building a custom ring light, and even questioning if a one-pixel (yes, pixel) camera is a viable artistic medium.
