Floral Art Photography, Guest Speaker Jana Zachariou
The event will be held on May 6, 2025 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
JANA ZACHARIOU is a Czech-born photographer living in the southern part of Vancouver Island. In the past couple of years, Jana has shifted her focus and has successfully created a niche for herself in the photographic world of florals. Rather than focusing on the technicalities involved in taking a photo, she explores photography with a mindfulness approach. She loves creating and experimenting with textures in post-processing to make them come alive with an added layer of depth.
At the meeting Jana will be teaching us:
- What is a mindful approach to flower photography;
- Developing a unique perspective in photography that defines you;
- Photo Gear;
- Composition;
- Post-processing tips;
- Why add textures to images;
- Useful tips for flower photography.
Her first real interaction with photography actually started in front of the lens as a fashion model in the mid-80's. Jana, however, found her true calling on the other side of the lens and her knowledge of photography is entirely self-taught. After having lived in various locations around the world, she chose to call Canada her home. Eventually settling on the West Coast was the true beginning of Jana's endless love affair with a camera.
Photography opened a door to an aberrant way of seeing and appreciating the world around her. Jana's ability to capture inspiring imagery came about, in part, because of the abundance of natural scenery that surrounds her on the West Coast. The visual drama and artistry of her photographs are born from a keen eye for the many moods of the natural world. Initially, her photography was focused on landscapes. Jana's hope is that when viewed, her dreamy floral images evoke a sense of emotion.
