    Mark had done a great job of preparing for this session. Several sets of stairs were visited and photographed. We learned to consider his techniques of juxtaposition; different angles, closeups, and "Dutchies". Very enlightening. Got us all thinking "outside the square" for more interesting photographs. We visited a variety of stairs, ie., 2 x fire escape stairways, one internal timber and carpet staircase at the Boags Information Building and the levee steps next the Tamar River.

    An in depth tutorial on juxtaposition and mergers with elements that I had never considered before. Also the "course notes" that Mark emails to the participants after the session are very much appreciated.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Mark Tripp
    With over 45 years of experience, I first started taking photos at the age of 14.
    My first camera was a Pentax SLR K1000 then moving into a Canon AE1 SLR.
    Purchased my first medium format camera in 1977, a Mamiya RB67 and then in 1978 this was when my photography business started. Primarily with weddings and portraits and then starting modelling, fashion, commercial and magazine photography.

    I originally took up photography to showcase my art, signwriting, graphic designs and visual merchandising but requests started about doing portraits and weddings. I also started in photo / journalism building up to freelance for over 20 Australian magazines and several oversea publications as well. To name a few - Australian Street Machine, Australian Street Rodding, Australasian Post, Women 2019s Weekly, Trucking Life, Vogue, Vogue House and Garden, Studio Fashion, Conde Nast Publications, People, Performance Street Car plus many more. I also started selling my images through a stock library, Auschromes where I was successful in selling my images here in Australia and overseas. Never really been into entering competitions however one I did enter through a photography magazine, I came first in this world wide portrait competition.

    I have also done a lot of modelling portfolios and hair images. I worked closely with several Tasmanian Modellling Agencies and hair salons. I was secretary / treasurer for The Australian Mannequin and Models Guild ( Tas Division ) for several years and helped co-ordinate The Mannequin and Photographic Model of the Year Awards. I was also successful in supplying award winning hair images for many hair stylists.

    Went back to visual merchandising part time for a few years while still continuing my photography business. Then in 2002 I was hired at Southern Cross Television now 7 Tasmania - Southern Cross Austereo, as a commercial producer. With the rapidly changes in technology I now also am a videographer / editor while still doing a lot of commercial photography. I have developed skills in photoshop, Lightroom and many more appplications to evolve my art and photography. I also have a strong presence with online sites where I sell my art and photography. Also still continue to sell digital images through stock libraries. Started in August 2020 with The Launceston Photography Group to become one of their instructors for the Launceston, Tasmania area.

    Title or Location: Lotus ponds, Candidasa, Bali
    The lotus ponds in Candidasa are about the size of a footy oval and directly opposite the town temple. Early in the morning you will be greeted by a sea of lotus flowers waiting to attract the local birds and insects. As you can see the white cheeked carpenter bee is a common resident. The image was captured with my go to kit of Fujifilm XT5 XF100-400 and as the sun was bright the settings were as you can imagine not challenging.

    Title or Location: "She Shoots, She Scores" - Launceston, TAS
    What a night! My first time seeing, and photographing the magical Aurora Australis, or Southern Light's. An experience I got to share with thousands, possibly millions of others, who also saw the stunning beauty. Naturally, it wasn't hard to get 'creative' for a local monthly photography challenge. Even better, I got to see the magical light show from my very own backyard!
