The Tidewater Camera Club is sponsoring professional photographer, Nikhil Bahl, who will present a seminar entitled “Creative Interpretations” on Monday, February 6, from 7-9 pm in the Wye Oak Room at the Talbot County Community Center, Rte. 50, Easton, MD.
Nikhil Bahl is a professional nature photographer, educator, author, lecturer and workshop instructor. His goal is to inspire people to appreciate the splendor of nature by becoming aware of that which is easily overlooked, and by transforming the mundane into the exciting through contemplative and artistic interpretation. While his primary aim is to create art with his photographs, he also strives to document the natural world with an eye toward conservation and education. This has led him to volunteer his time and photography skills with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Nikhil’s work has been published in a number of print and electronic media. His fine art prints have been widely exhibited in the Washington metropolitan area, and are part of many private collections. Nikhil also has a passion for teaching photography and leads nature photography workshops and tours in the United States. He teaches photography locally at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia and through Digital Photo Academy. His instruction is focused on in-camera interpretation and developing personal vision, rather than simply following the traditional rules of photography.
Photography is all about interpretation. From subject selection, to focal length, shutter speed and aperture, to camera placement, post-processing, a photographer makes many decisions that interpret the subject. A photographer can show the subject in an atypical manner that may challenge the viewers perceptions or by delving into the abstract the viewer can be left guessing as to what the subject really is. In his presentation, Nikhil Bahl will take you into the realm of conceptualizing and interpreting the scene that is to be captured by the creative photographer. The ideas and photos that will be presented are part of Nikhil’s eBook entitled “Creative Interpretations”.

The seminar is open to the public. Please check the club website, www.tidewatercameraclub.com, or contact Janet at 410-901-2223 for changes in venue or weather-related cancellations.
