Artist’s Statement:
Photographers seem naturally drawn to decrepitude. Whether your interest is in old cars, old trucks or old architecture, Don will show you how to shoot these environments in a creative manner. During this presentation he will offer tips for better compositions and how to deal with some of the technical challenges you may have to overcome.
While many photographers love this subject matter, finding a great location to shoot decrepitude can be a challenge. Unless you know the right person, these properties are usually off limits. He will share a list of locations that offer easy access for a photographer and in addition, he will share his insights on how you can get permission to explore and create your own art in these great locations.
Artist’s Bio:
Don Rosenberger
Don first picked up a camera in his teenage years, shooting mostly black and white film and doing his own darkroom work. His interests shifted to color film in his early twenties, then he did the unexpected, he quit photography. There were a variety of reasons for this decision, but when he looks back he thinks he was lacking a certain maturity that was necessary to move forward in regard to the quality of his work. With the advent of Digital Photography he started shooting again with a passion that had been missing in earlier years. Today he is drawn to a variety of work, but he considers landscape photography to be the core of his work. Being outside and often in remote locations gives him an appreciation for our natural world. It is his hope that his images bring others to that same level of appreciation.
Today he shoots with everything from the iPhone, to high end DSLR’s and Infrared. But he does not consider the camera that important, as it is just a tool to accomplish the photographer’s vision.
Don is the presentation manager for the Nature Visions Photography Expo. Don is a former member of the Manassas Warrenton Camera Club and Co-Owner of Road Runner Photography Tours.
