Composition for Landscape Photography
Speaker: Bryan Hansel
https://www.bryanhansel.com
The fundamental underpinnings of a well-composed landscape shot takes into account three concepts: simplicity, flow and relationships. Within those concepts, the landscape photographer explores space, lines, color theory, balance, how a viewer’s eye moves through the shot, and how the different parts of a photo echo, contrast or expand upon each other. Combine those ideas with lens choices, tripod heights and the ideas of how to approach a composition as a painting instead of a photo and you get Bryan Hansel , our May 21 guest speaker’s methods for landscape composition.

He has over 30 years of photography experience with 100s of publication credits from publications such as National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer, Lake Superior Magazine, Ocean Paddler, Canoe and Kayak Magazine, Backpacker Magazine and many more.

An outdoor educator and guide at heart, Bryan decided to share his passion for outdoor photography and started a photography workshop program in 2006. His programs take students to the best and often unknown locations in the northland and across the nation to many National Parks. He lives in Grand Marais, Minnesota.

Silvana Della, our April speaker, is a software engineer by trade. She began her fascination with photography as a very small child. The early fascination turned into a lifelong obsession. Decades later her passion never faltered, but her view of the world evolved. Photographing what the eye can’t perceive is what she loves best to capture.
Past President of the Stony Brook Camera Club in Franklin, Massachusetts, she is the recipient of many photography awards. Her images have appeared in Lighthouse Digest, Yankee Magazine, and the Boston Globe, and were featured in Nikon’s 100th birthday celebration. She has presented and judged at camera club councils, camera clubs, and art associations throughout the US.
Silvana helps others expand their own photographic vision through her photography workshops, photo walks, photo tours, private instruction, and club presentations on various photography topics including infrared, Milky Way, black & white, nightscapes, deep space photography, and time-lapse. She challenges photographers to consider that there is much more in a scene than what is visible to the human eye and to tap into the power of their cameras to discover it.
To her, life is best summarized by the quote “Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death.” – from the 1958 film “Auntie Mame”.
