Community Journalism at it's Best
Hello Sac Press readers,
Thanks so much for contributing to our site, whether it be reading the stories, commenting, or writing your very own articles.For the month of November, we have a couple of workshops to look forward to.
Tuesday, Nov. 17 we will have a Intro to Photography workshop taught by Anthony Bento. We will serve food at 6:30 p.m. and the workshop will begin at 6:45 and end around 8.
Bento has a B.A in film and digital media from UC Santa Cruz, where he photographed and reported on the 2004 presidential campaign and other political events. He has also worked as a product photographer in New York City and here in Sacramento as a freelance photojournalist for Sacramento News & Review, and as a community contributor to the Sacramento Press.
Bring your own camera so we can look at the various settings and help you take better photos. Bento will go over the basics of photography, including the rule of thirds, confidence and lighting. He will answer any of your individual questions about taking photos and can give you tips based on what kind of camera you use.
A big part of journalism is photography, and we want to motivate you to take more photos to supplement your stories.Later this month, we'll also have a workshop on Facebook and how to utilize it for both business and personal fun. Check your e-mail for that invitation in the next week.
