November 19 Program: Food Photography In The Age Of Social Media
Capturing food in an artistic way has been around for centuries. Many a great master painter made studies of food as still life artistic renderings. But now anyone can pick up their phone or camera and capture an image. The goal of this presentation is to inspire the audience to make art out of their food photography, take images that could easily appear in a cook book or food magazine or even hang as a print on wall in your home.
Chris Summers, a member of our club, will be our speaker. He graduated with Bachelor of Arts degree in Commercial Photography. He began his career here in Houston, relocating from California, to work with a major commercial photo studio. In 1984 he opened his open studio, Chris Summers Photography, in the Rice Village area producing a broad variety of commercial work from retail and catalogs to oil and gas, industry, banking, real estate and the newly developed computer field. Clients included Foley’s, Sakowitz, Joske’s, Norton Ditto, Shell, Texaco, Exxon, and even Enron.
Chris retired in 2008 and now enjoys projects that interest him & travelling with his wife on her work projects. When not taking pictures or editing them, Chris enjoys doing remodeling on their home, gardening or working in the wood shop in his converted garage.
