We will be able to help on the evening but it would be helpful to practise first) \nCost\nWe will be providing some equipment\, food and props to assist with the evening.

SUMMARY:Through the Viewfinder: Insightful Stories from New Zealand's Defence Force Photographers
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an awesome presentation featuring two incredibly talented photographers from the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF). These two photographers have some serious skills behind the camera\, and they’re here to give us a sneak peek into their world. We’re talking about capturing jaw-dropping action shots\, heartfelt moments\, and everything in between. From training exercises to real-life missions\, they’ve been right there in the thick of it all. \nSo\, buckle up and prepare to be blown away as they share their stories\, show off their incredible images\, and give us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be an NZDF photographer. It’s going to be an epic ride\, folks! \nRachel\nCorporal Rachel Pugh first heard about the role of a military photographer when she was at high school and immediately discarded the idea as being way too unrealistic. Instead\, she studied a Bachelors of Fine Arts majoring in photography\, and it wasn’t until her final year of study that she began to seriously consider applying for the role anyway. \nNow she has been in service for four years and deployed to multiple countries across the Pacific following NZDF units from exercise to operation. Her work has been featured in national and international publications\, as well as occasionally going viral on Reddit. In 2022 she took home third place in the Asia Pacific Photography Awards in Advertising and Editorial and was a shortlist in the 2021 Voyager Media Awards for best cover image of a magazine. \nBased in Ohakea\, her particular passion is air-to-air photography\, working in and around the helicopter squadrons and trying not to fall out the side of the aircraft. \nNaomi\nCorporal Naomi James is a New Zealand Defence Force photographer working out of Base Ohakea in the mighty Manawatu. Having been in service for just over 6 ½ years\, Naomi has been behind the lens throughout her entire military career. Brought up in the United Kingdom\, her passion for photography was sparked in college which led her to study a Bachelor of Arts in Photography before moving to NZ at the end of 2015 as a creative post-graduate. \nAs a photographer\, Naomi enjoys the variety of photographic skills and challenges that comes with visually documenting military exercises and operations. She has participated in activities with numerous units and services; from capturing commemorative ceremonial events in Europe\, to sailing the seas in the Pacific\, and disaster relief in Australia. Her work has been published in digital and hard print domestically and abroad. \nA highlight of her career was capturing the Anzac Day flypast image of Biggin Hill’s Historic Aircraft Centre’s Spitfire. This particular image was featured in the NZ Herald as photo of the week as well as achieving a finalist spot in the Asia Pacific Photography Awards in 2022.

SUMMARY:Finding Vivian Maier - Movie Night
DESCRIPTION:Finding Vivian Maier is a 2013 American documentary film about the photographer Vivian Maier\, who working most of her life as a nanny and housekeeper\, took over 100\,000 photographs secretly and hid them in lockers until they were discovered decades later. She is now considered one of the greatest 20th century American photographers. \nThe film documents how Maloof\, the film’s co- director\, discovered her work in a box of photo negatives at a 2007 Chicago auction\, then scanned the images and put them on the Internet\, which inspired a Kickstarter campaign to produce a film of her work. \nUpon release\, the film received critical acclaim and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 87th Academy Awards. \nThursday 12th October\, Doors Open 7pm\, Tararua Tramping Club
