"From Flowers to Fine Art" with Teri Whittaker, TPPA President

Teri will discuss her daily image project, how it improved her photography and led her to photographing flowers. She will explain her different lighting strategies, lighting sources, background options, color choices for the subject matter/background/borders and post production work and more. 
Teri will also be demonstrating her techniques LIVE as she walks through a photoshoot.

NOTE: This event is at a new location, Picoso's 7611 Milwaukee Ave.

Teri has primarily used her camera to create people-portraits and photograph weddings; however, while undertaking a daily project that lasted 15 months, she found, along the way, that she developed a love for photographing flowers. During her project, Teri discovered that her photography improved due to the commitment to photographing something daily…..photographing something just for herself. Teri has received from the Professional Photographers Association her Certified Professional Photographer designation, and her Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman degrees. Teri has competed annually in the Professional Photographers Association’s International Photographic Competition and is a 6-time medalist in this competition. Teri is a wife, a mom, and a mia (her ‘grandmother’ name as she did not want to be called grandma). She and her family have had the opportunity to live in places such as Alaska and Africa, and to travel much of the United States. These days Teri primarily does business headshot portraiture …….and…..photographs a whole lot of flowers….
