February Meeting – Andrew Hoff

Speaker: Andrew Hoff

This program will touch on my previous work in landscape photography, the genesis of my street photography and will continue on to my current project of street and people photography. I will mention what events, mentors and technological changes have lead me to change, towards a street/documentary project based photographer. I will talk about certain people that have influenced the change in my work; the technological advances in cameras that have helped make this conversion easier and the reasoning behind the change. This program will show my early forays into street photography through to my current project. Most of my current work centers on photographing people that work at regional carnivals and fairs. This four year project has taken me to fairs in Maine, TX to regional fairs and carnivals in NY, MD, VA and PA. I will show examples of the changes I have made to some photographs, to enhance the focus on the people. This program will be image laden and story heavy about specific photographs and the thought process that accompanies the images. This program should last about 75 minutes.
