Dave Bennett: Nait Scholarship

Dave Bennett: Guest Speaker: May 2016

Working Machines and Their People

Dave Bennett, recent graduate of NAIT’s Photographic Technology program and recipient of the Images Alberta Camera Club Scholarship, was kind enough to join us at a Club meeting to share about his time as a student at NAIT.

The presentation focused on his commercial work and included an in-depth discussion around a selection of images from his photographic thesis. Available for viewing at the meeting was his print portfolio that showcased two of the series created during his final semester, “Garage Portrait” and “Painted Faces.” The “Garage Portrait” series was an exceptional blend of his background in the automotive world and his current passion for photography. Through one of the images shared, Dave introduced several members of the Club to the Brenizer Method, which is “a method to take the shallow depth-of-field of images taken with a fast telephoto lens and apply that to any sort of frame of view you want.” http://brenizermethod.vhx.tv/.

If you did not have the good fortune of meeting Dave, or if you would like to see additional work, check out his blog, especially the May 30, 2016 post, where he comments on his experience at the Club, "I was honoured to be invited to speak and present to Images Alberta Camera Club. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, I had to prepare 45 minutes of material to a large group of people that I had never met. I talked about commercial photography, the images I took for my photographic thesis, then presented my printed portfolio and images. It went reasonably well, as I only saw a few people nodding off. Out of the ninety or so present I consider a 3% sleep rate a win." http://davebennett.photography/images-alberta-camera-club/.
