"Aspects of Light" was Topic of October Club Meeting
Members and guests of the Coastal Carolina Camera Club heard an interesting presentation by photographer Jimmy Chiarella on "Aspects of Light" at the October meeting of the club.
Jimmy described how he has used lighting in the different applications of Photography such as action, sports, portrait, still life, nature, etc. He said he has been fascinated by the properties of light and it has influenced his photography over the past 50 years. As a photographer, Jimmy cannot think of a more important aspect of photography than light. Chiarella is an award-winning photo specialist who has worked with multi-national companies and ad campaigns. With over 50 years of color and photographic experience, Jimmy has collaborated with photographers, advertising agencies, and fortune 500 companies to create images, ads and collateral material with stunning imagery.
