PRESENTER: ERIC HATCH

CRITIQUE THEME: PATTERNS, SHAPES, LINES AND TEXTURES

PROGRAM: TRAVEL
Travel photography has two purposes. The first is to capture the spirit of the place to induce people to go there. The second is to capture the spirit of the place without regard to whether people should come there. The first is the more commercial form you are more likely to see lifestyle shots like restaurants, greeting people, happy kids, loving couples, etc. The second version is much more akin to photojournalism and what do you see in Ukraine right now. In that case the goal is to capture the place as it is and of course as a photographer sees it.

In his presentation we will learn how to distinguish one type from the other type of travel photography, with plenty of examples from his own voyages of discovery
