Next Meeting’s Presentation
Peter Kenny
Mounting Photographic Prints
Our next meeting on Monday the 1st of April 2019 will feature a talk by Peter Kenny who is the proprietor of Framing Life and is an accomplished photographer in his own right. The topic is Mounting Photographic Prints. The emphasis will be on correctly mounting prints on framing mattes for our competitions, but Peter will cover the broader area of printing, mounting and framing photographic prints. He will bring samples, materials and equipment and show how these should be used. There will be plenty of time for Q&A as well.
Peter Kenny has more than 15 years’ experience working as a professional photographer and custom framer. His photography includes landscapes and local sports, capturing rugby, netball and dance teams in Gladesville and the surrounding suburbs.
We will all no doubt benefit from Peter’s expertise.
For further background on Peter see his business website http://framinglife.com.au
We will of course also have updates on the clubs future activities and competitions. We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting!
