CRITIQUE: Creative Lighting
Creative lighting can be natural or man made. Subjects should be illuminated to provide areas of contrast and light. A wide range of photographic images will be reviewed for lighting techniques. No limit on subject. It can be portraiture, macro, wildlife, or even landscape.

Dramatic use of shadows in contrast to light as well as different lighting techniques such as rim light, back light, diffused light are all appropriate.

Light painting, use of strobes, flashlights, candles, even light sticks can help produce creative lighting effects.

Have fun! I look forward to critiquing your images!

BIO: PAMELA DECAMP
Pam DeCamp
Photographer
Southern Ohio

Pam is an award winning professional photographer from Wheelersburg, Ohio. Her photography experience has ranged from photojournalism, sports, performing arts, fine art, to macro and wildlife.

Pam’s transition to photographing wildlife has evolved during her winter stays in Florida as a “snowbird.” Her persistence and patience in finding the habitats and visiting frequently has yielded many fine images of the native and migrating water birds.

Her fine art photography has been on display in several regional as well as statewide museums and she has had images on display in the Ohio Governor’s Office.

She hosts workshops in her studio and gives presentations to area camera clubs. She is the past president of the Ohio Valley Camera Club in Huntington, West Virginia and assists in the coordination of meetings for the TriState Camera Club in Ashland, Kentucky.

Pam’s passion is travel. She enjoys planning trips with friends to various places across the country and internationally. She has traveled to all 50 states, nine countries, and three continents.

In her down time, she edits and organizes her photographs, and spends quality time with her two dogs, Sampson (Sam) and Ruby, and her three cats, Angel, Sebastian, and Simon. In the warmer months you may find her out on the backroads in her 1990 Mazda Miata MX5. She is also an aspiring author, and has begun writing her first book about birding in Florida.
