Suffield Photo Club's next meeting

The Suffield Photo Club is excited to present guest photographer Molly Stromoski, a life long Suffield resident, who is finishing her senior year at Suffield academy. She will be sharing photographs from her portfolio, talking about the newer techniques and technology she uses to edit her photos, and explaining a tedious, but rewarding project that was assigned by a Pratt admissions officer. Molly has plans to continue her passion for photography at Pratt in Brooklyn NY in the fall. While art has always been a part of her life, photography took the forefront in her high school years. She's taken many classes at her school, both for film and digital photography, and is now a photography teachers assistant for her senior year. Molly will also be talking about the scholastic portfolio course at Maine Media, Rockport Maine, she took this past summer. She was able to shoot and edit all day long, a dream for some photographers. 

The group will have two short demos using Photoshop and Photoshop Elements and then theme photos of the month will be shown. February's theme is "RED" and for March the theme will be "Black and White". 

The meeting is February 21st, 6:30 in the Suffield Senior Center. Everyone is welcome. suffieldphotoclub.com
