Ojai, CA - The Ojai Photography Club welcomes Nancy Lehrer to its August 21 meeting at 7:00 PM, in Help of Ojai’s Kent Hall, 111 Santa Ana Street, Ojai, CA.

In her presentation, Nancy will focus on training she has received from two master photographers, Jay Maisel and Sam Abell, and how she has applied these lessons in her street photography.

Jay Maisel comes from a background in commercial photography, but his personal work focuses on capturing light, color, and gesture found in everyday life. Sam Abell is a 30-year veteran of the National Geographic. His approach – setting the stage and waiting for the action to come to him – has earned him 2 spots in National Geographic’s 50 Greatest Images.

Lehrer is a computer scientist by profession, and currently develops IT strategy at a large Biotech firm in Ventura County. Having told stories with photography for as long as she can remember, she has become involved in a number of diverse photographic communities and begun pursuing photography with a sense of purpose.

Lehrer teaches workshops and offers lectures for the local camera clubs, and writes a photography blog to describe her approach and her learning process, and to discuss new photographers as she discovers them.

The Ojai Photography Club, which is devoted to education, inspiration, and camaraderie, meets on the third Tuesday of each month, February – November. Visitors are always welcome, but only members may submit images for critique.
