The Ojai Photography Community will host award-winning travel photographer Sharon Lobel in a presentation entitled “All About Travel Photography and More” on Tuesday, March 19, at 7 p.m. in Help of Ojai’s Kent Hall, 111 W. Santa Ana St., Ojai CA. The OPC welcomes the public to attend these free events.

Lobel will share her “Suitcase for Success,” packed with key elements for capturing stunning images while you are on the road. Her illustrated talk will include landscape tips, lighting, and ideas for photographing all kinds of subjects, from insects to mountains. She will cover her best tools and tricks in the field, as well as how to pack camera gear using simple tools. For anyone planning a trip this year, or even just dreaming about one, Lobel’s presentation will inspire them to dig deep into their passion and discover what motivates them to become a successful travel photographer.

Always ready to set off to find another adventure, Lobel has traveled extensively throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Mexico and the United States. She is a National and State accredited Master Photographer and Photographic Craftsman, active in three professional photographers’ organizations, with multiple awards in each of them. In the Professional Photographers of Los Angeles County, she was named twice as Nature Photographer of the Year. She is a double international silver medalist with the Professional Photographers of America. Her awards in the Professional Photographers of California include Animal Photographer of the Year for 2016, and in January 2019 she was presented with the prestigious Evans-Kingham Award for her outstanding service to the photographic community. Her energy and enthusiasm spill over into a workshop and adventure business that she co-founded, called “Image Adventures.”
