SUMMARY:PSNZ Honours Club
DESCRIPTION:For those who attended our last meeting\, I mentioned that we will be starting a Honours Club.\n\nThe purpose of this club is to provide support and encouragement to WPS members who are interested in attaining one of the three levels of distinction awarded by the Photographic Society of New Zealand: Licentiate\, Associateship\, and Fellowship.\nFurther information\, including informative videos and portfolio examples\, can be found here: https://photography.org.nz/honours/psnz-honours/\n\nThe purpose of the awards is to encourage New Zealand Photographers to push their boundaries and grow their artistic and technical skills through an awards system not unlike what exists in the US\, UK\, Australia\, and Canada.\nAchieving an honours level also unlocks opportunities within the PSNZ such as judging for photographic competitions for other clubs.\nAt this stage\, we are starting the Honours Club for those trying for the first award\, Licentiate\, which is open to PSNZ and non-PSNZ members. Is there is enough interest in higher levels\, we’re more than happy to accommodate.\n\nThe first meeting will be this Wednesday\, March 10th at 5pm at the Tramping Club. It will be a quick meeting for people to discuss what they want out of the club and when they want to meet.\nHowever\, I am more than happy to host this meeting on ZOOM instead if there is greater interest in that. Please comment below if you prefer a ZOOM meet-up

SUMMARY:Joshua Harvey - The Ways We Love
DESCRIPTION:In town early before the Wellington Pride Festival kicks-off on March 13th? \nJoin The Wellington Photographic Society on March 11th as we host emerging photographer Joshua Harvey. \nJoshua Harvey is a queer photographer\, working with portraiture to unpack issues surrounding identity\, relationships\, mental health and the idea of the self-image. Their work to date has focused on the ideas that the photographic lens can reveal a true nature but is more often than not used to capture a performative reality\, where one can set their own stage and play pretend. \nThey will be discussing their work with the queer community and their book “The Ways We Love” which unpacks relationships in a modern age in an effort to understand how we love one another and how this generation is affected by it\, particularly in regards to queer relationships. \n\n\nJoshua is a student at Massey’s College of Creative Arts\, studying with the Photography Department towards their Bachelor of Design. “The Ways We Love” premiered at Massey University’s 2020 Exposure Exhibition. \nThanks to Vivian Lyngdoh and The Wellington Pride Festival for their assistance. Please note this is not an official Pride Festival Event. \nIn the event that Level 2 is extended this event will go ahead with social distancing measures\, Tracer QR codes/visitor register\, and hand gel. Normal coffee/tea and biscuits will not be provided until Level 1 but feel free to bring your own non-alcoholic beverage.

SUMMARY:Karolina Stus: Fine Art & Expressive Photography
DESCRIPTION:My name is Karolina. I’m an independent fine art and portrait photographer\, shooting personal\, fashion and commercial portraits. I’m an enthusiastic and life-loving Polish woman\, living in Kāpiti\, New Zealand. Growing up without many material things in a country fighting communism\, we created memories that have warmed me over the years. \nI believe these experiences built the foundations for my soul\, and the way I look at the world today. \nMy passion for photography has evolved since my gorgeous family arrived in New Zealand in 2012. It soon became a creative outlet\, a way for me to tell stories. When we arrived here\, my older son was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. He understands the world more easily through images\, as words and language are something abstract to him – so we communicated using visual images. Since then I’ve totally fallen in love with photography. My fine art editorial approach creates timeless\, luminous and cinematic images. My goal as a portrait photographer is to look past the face we present\, to capture something deeper. Sometimes this results in a bright\, eye-catching image\, and sometimes a more poetic study of the face. I’m in love with everything that is old\, odd\, or different; I find these things beautiful. I transform these old things and give them new life. My house is full of these pieces. I connect strongly with this quote about the Japanese art of Kintsugi: \n“When the Japanese repair broken objects\, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history\, it becomes more beautiful.” \nDuring my talk\, I will tell you about my journey to find my style. Why I decided to do something different and use my hands instead of photoshop. I will bring my pieces and explain how I made some of them. \nYou can check out Karolina’s incredible work here: https://karolinastus.pro/ \nIn the event that Level 2 is extended this event will go ahead with social distancing measures in place\, QR codes/visitor register\, and other safety procedures.
