Sedona News – Join the Sedona Camera Club for two presentations by professional landscape photographer Nic Stover. The meeting starts at 6:30 pm on Monday, March 25, 2024, at the Mary D. Fisher Theater, 2030 W. State Route 89A, Suite B-2, Sedona. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
During the Power to Create, Nic will talk about an area of photography that is hard to quantify, takes some time to discover, but is part of the process. This presentation will help photographers look at our work and our creative process in completely different ways than ever before. We will see how we need to give ourselves permission to go deeper into our creative selves to explore a wider range of what we and our work represent.
After a break, Stover will present Evaluating and Working with Light. Nic will talk about how the most important thing in photography is how we look through the camera and the choices and decisions we make on how to collect the light that is falling onto our subjects. Nic doesn’t have mastery of light nor the power to control it: he will talk about how he reacts to the light he is given (not necessarily the light he wants). His presentation will increase our understanding of how to work with light.
Nic and his amazing wife Jen are based in San Luis Obispo, CA. He teaches classes, leads workshops and brings together amazing speakers. Nic hosts a regular speaker series bringing in the very best nature photography educators. Through this work he gives back 10% of the income (NOT profits, the gross amount he takes in) through the Inspired Creator Grant.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Nic turned “Professional” in 2020. This allows him to spend 90 or so days a year in the field and has taken him to all 7 continents. While he enjoys travel and exploration it is often the places he returns to like the Canadian Rockies, High Sierra, or Desert Southwest of the US that hold the most value for him on his creative journey.
Stover explains: “I work daily to help nature photographers create more impactful images, so they can confidently and consistently express themselves.” He believes that we choose the craft of photography to deepen our connection to ourselves, others, or the natural environment. Nic hopes to engage people into their natural environment and deepen their appreciation of the beauty and the opportunities that exist to protect this amazing place we call earth.
