John Barclay: Realizing that photography is a creative art form, I am constantly exploring new
ways to connect with my subject. Over the last few years, I have been learning to fall
in love with rather than just photograph what I am drawn to. Love? Really? What
does love have to do with it? That is what this presentation will disclose. How does
the love of my subjects influence my photography? It boils down to this — I
photograph what makes my heart sing!
In this presentation, I will share stories and my thoughts from a 20 year journey to
where I now look through the lens of love. I hope you will join me.

Elizabeth Gray: American nature photographer Rob Sheppard said, “Good black and white photography is not about the removal of colour!” I could not agree more. Unfortunately, many photographers try unsuccessfully to rescue mediocre images by converting them to black and white.
In this presentation, we will discuss ways to recognize what subjects and scenes work well when shot in black and white and why you would deliberately choose to shoot in black and white over colour. We will talk about what makes strong monochrome photos and how to train your brain to see in black and white. With these skills, you will be able to create much stronger and more compelling monochrome photographs.

Lee Nordbye: Listening to the ice crunch as I dig my crampons into the ice, my mind wanders momentarily. When my attention returns to the moment, I quickly slide down the steep ice face of Little Athabasca Glacier. A jerk of the rope and I come to an abrupt stop. Without hesitation, I get up and start to climb up the face. I reach my guide, and he asks if I am ok, I say yes, we have a bit of a laugh, and we go to our target Boundary Peak.
In this presentation, Lee’s goal is to give you a sense of being with him on his adventures and misadventures in the Canadian Rockies like this one and his recent trekking experience in Bhutan. He will pair the stories with his bold visual stories. Lee will detail what energizes him to take up adventures like the one above and the inspiration for each of his images. Finally, Lee will share a few tips and tricks he uses to capture his images. Lee is excited to chat with us about his adventures and photography journey.”
