NEW FCC PHOTOGRAPHIC JUDGES COURSE, KOGARAH, 22 and 23 March 2025
The FCC, with the assistance of the St George Leagues Club Photographic Society, is holding its next Photographic Judges’ Course at the St George Leagues Club, Kogarah on Saturday 22 March and Sunday 23 March, 2025.
Day 1 consists of discussions and practical workshops on the key content, composition and technical factors judges look for in photos.
Day 2 consists of practical workshops in analysing, giving feedback, and scoring images.
The course is open to all people who are interested in becoming a photographic judge. Current judges wishing to update their skills are also invited. The cost is $30 pp. Participants can purchase food and drinks at the venue. Places are limited to 20 people.
People wishing to be considered for the FCC Judges’ List must (i) successfully complete Days 1 and 2; (ii) have at least 12 months experience in a camera club, as a professional photographer or similar practical experience; and (iii) participate in a short mentoring scheme with an experienced judge after the course.
DIY PRESENTATION ON TAKING MINIMALIST PHOTOGRAPHS
Minimalism involves taking beautiful photographs where “less is more.” It requires learning how to see and take images that are simple, stylish and elegant.
“Taking Minimalist Photographs” is a practical, DIY PowerPoint presentation followed by fun workshop. The presentation and workshop take between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the club. No specialised knowledge is needed. All you need is a way to show the presentation to your members, and for your members to bring their camera with them so they can do the workshop after the presentation.
The resource is available for free to all member Clubs.
A new DIY presentation and workshop on “How to Take Portraits” is planned for release in March 2025.
UPDATED LIST OF PHOTOGRAPHY JUDGES AND PRESENTERS
The FCC recently sent two updated lists – the List of FCC Photography Judges and the FCC List of Photography Presenters – to Club Secretaries.
