BUNBURY CAMERA CLUB 21ST FORUM EXHIBITION AND PHOTO COMPETITION

The Bunbury Camera Club will be holding its 21st annual Exhibition and interclub Competition from Thursday 20th May to Saturday 22nd of May during shopping hours.

The exhibits will be of the work of the Bunbury, Busselton and Mandurah Clubs. The Competition topic is “Our South West’’ with the Exhibition being ‘’Open subject’’.

Shoppers are welcome to vote in the people’s choice awards.

Bunbury Camera Club meets monthly and its members will be interested in talking to anyone who shares an interest in photography and prospective members.

The Competition will be judged by Christian Fletcher a well known local landscape photographer of West Australia who has been taking photographs professionally for over 18 years. In that time he has had to evolve with every advance in technology and creative technique. He says it is such an exciting and challenging time to be in the industry. The advent of digital has revolutionised photography as an art form. It has also bought photography and image manipulation to the masses. Every second person now takes photographs and many are trying their hand at creating a living from their hobbies. Digital in some ways made it easier to be a “photographer”, but it still takes a certain level of skill and understanding to truly master the craft.

SW Photo trip

We had a great day and scenery to get around. The bus was full and many prize winning images were captured.

BreakOut at the Breakwater 2010

An experienced judge and lecturer on the international circuit, he will reveal how a passion for photography combined with natural talent, creative flair and remarkable people skills have made him one of Australia´s most notable photographers.

Vittorio Natoli:

Vittorio founded Viva Life Photography in 1991 building it into an 11-store franchise in WA and Victoria, and he´s not done yet. In his own words, "Creativity wins awards, which are great to have, but you also have to get your commercial flow right to make enough money to keep running and winning." Possessing a rare combination of artisan and businessman, Vittorio is a force of energy focused on realising a commercial gain from his creative endeavours. At The Breakout, he will share ideas and strategies accumulated on his journey of excellence for a streamlined business that allows for more time behind the camera.
