HUDSON – On Wednesday, Jan. 4, the Assabet Valley Camera Club will host Suzanne Révy, who worked as photography editor at U.S. News and World Report and Yankee Magazine.
A photographer, writer and educator, Révy earned a bachelor’s in fine arts from the Pratt Institute and a master’s in fine arts from the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
She has exhibited her work at museums and galleries throughout New England and in New York.
Révy is an adjunct professor of photography at Clark University in Worcester.
“A Certain Slant of Light” began as a daily photographic ritual where Revy employed a mobile phone to keep her eyes open for light as it moved and changed throughout the day. As a photographer who primarily uses film in a methodical manner, the immediacy, speed and ease of phone photography offered a different avenue for practice and honing her vision on a daily basis.
Capturing images at sunrise on a small pond allows Révy to witness seasonal changes in shifting light and weather.
In her presentation, she will discuss how using the phone has enhanced her practice in film photography and will describe how her phone pictures have evolved over time.
Currently AVCC meetings are being held online. If you are interested in attending this program, contact AVCC at [email protected] a few days prior to the meeting to request a link to the event. The club’s Zoom room opens at 7 p.m., with a brief business meeting at 7:15. Révy’s presentation, “A Certain Slant of Light,” will begin at 7:30.
Normally, AVCC meetings are held at the Hudson Senior Center.
The first meeting of the month generally features a program designed to instruct and/or to entertain camera enthusiasts. During the second monthly meeting, a competition of members’ digital images is judged and critiqued by qualified individuals.
Assabet Valley Camera Club, affiliated with both the New England Camera Club Council and the Photographic Society of America, participates in interclub competitions on regional, national and international levels.
AVCC welcomes anyone interested in learning more about photography as a visual art and its practical application as a science. Members benefit from the hands-on experiences, from the knowledge presented in programs, and from having their work critiqued.
