Recap of the June 2025 Meeting
Image theme: "Arches"
This month’s theme, “Arches”, resulted in a wonderful set of images. Adjectives that come to mind are “insightful”, “clever”, “surprising”, “unexpected”, “beautiful”, and more. Thank you, everyone, for your participation!
Photographer of the Month
Teresa Freitas
This month we learned about a photographer that does excellent work with composition and color. While there is a somewhat “Wes Anderson” look to the toning within her images, we see a broad approach to subject and storytelling. Her website contains some fascinating personal work, as well as showing off some commercial/commissioned images. See more of Teresa’s photography at teresacfreitas.com, or follow her on Instagram @teresacfreitas.
