Speaker’s Meeting with Royce Bair
Topic: Night Photography
Thursday, March 6th via Zoom | @ 7PM
Royce Bair
Royce Bair has been a professional magazine and illustrative advertising photographer for three decades. He is one the early innovators of a genre of night photography some call “nightscapes,” and has often been called “the founding father of landscape astrophotography.” His unique images have received worldwide newspaper and magazine syndication. Royce believes the foreground is just as important as the starry night sky, and may need additional natural or artificial light enhancement for better recognition and aesthetic appreciation. Lecturing throughout the world, Royce has taught various ways to accomplish this, including his public service website on “Low Level Lighting” methods.
