Contemporary (Special Interest Group)

Contact: Dave Buzzeo
Sign up for this SIG

Definition of Contemporary Photography
It can be described as a "now" photographs from 1980 to today. What differentiates “now” photographs from “past” ones is principally:
​1) Photographic Techniques and 2) Photographic Ethics.

In this special interest group, hosted by Dave Buzzeo, members come together to explore contemporary photography principles and practices. This monthly evening meeting is open to photographers of all skill levels. It runs on the second Wednesday of the month, September through May.

Why Contemporary Photography?
It is more than just a genre or a style; it’s a concept and an expression of the artist at a specific moment that is then processed and presented as a photograph. It is for people who are unafraid to think outside the box. See examples.
​

Meeting Format
Meeting are conducted digitally via
 Zoom. To participate you will need a computer with a microphone and camera, or a smart tablet. You must pre-register to receive the link to the Zoom meetings.
what to expect
  • First meeting: We discuss the topic of contemporary photography and decide on a reading list. Agree to read certain materials advance of our second meeting.
  • Second meeting:  One member facilitates the discussion around the assigned reading material. Out of that, the group decides on a photographic project. Participants are given a date to provide three images to the facilitator.
  • Third meeting: At this meeting, the facilitator organizes the images and present them to the group for discussion. Following the review of images, another reading is agreed to, and a date set for the next meeting which is the same as the second meeting.
  • Further meetings:  This process could continue as long as the members want, or it is modified by the group at any time.
 
For example: The topic might be Deadpan Photography and the reading assignment might be Taryn Simon’s: American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar.  The facilitator makes sure that the reference material is readily available. The reference material need not be a book, it could be a video, a movie or anything else that relates to the topic under discussion.
