The Great Hollow Photographers Club (GHPC) will present a workshop “How to Create a Photobook” on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at 1 – 2:30 pm by John O’Donnell and Gary Stanford at the Great Hollow Nature Preserve. Whether your photos of a trip, a family gathering or treasured moments, how do you create a photobook, how do you get started? The workshop will be held at Great Hollow in the Community Room in the Merritt Building. There is no cost for the workshop, but seating is limited and advance registration is suggested via email to GHPhotoC@gmail.com.
GHPC members Gary Stanford and John O’Donnell will focus on defining the objectives for a photobook, editing and sequencing the photographs, adding text to the materials, and selecting an appropriate printer/publisher. Because audience participation is a large part of the workshop, attendees are encouraged to bring their own photobooks to show and discuss, whether in draft form, printed form, or just as ideas.
A resident of Danbury for the past 20 years, Gary Stanford is a retired Vice President of JP Morgan Chase Bank and a lifelong photographer. He currently divides his time between his passion for photography, teaching part time at Henry Abbott Technical HS and ministering at New Hope Baptist church, Danbury. In the photographic realm, Gary is a member of Great Hollow Photographers Club and Candlewood Camera Club. He enjoys photographing cityscapes, bridges and landscapes. Along with using state of the art digital equipment, Gary also enjoys the craft of analog (film) photography. His work can be viewed at his website, garystanford.zenfolio.com.
Sherman resident John O’Donnell is currently a principal at Atelier VGI, a Manhattan-based publisher of limited edition, fine art photobooks. John has spent decades in the media and publishing industries. Using his lens name, John Charles, he is recognized world-wide for his specialty of teddy bear photographs. Together with his wife Masumi, John supervises the One Thousand Bears Project, a private charity which donates photographs of teddy bears to children’s hospitals and orphanages, in order to “help people smile.”
