<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEach class is part of the Veteran Park Recreation Center’s free Photography Plus Club, a class for photographers who are looking to take their skills to the next level. During each class, participants can meet and mingle with experienced photographers and practice new lighting, staging, and subject in practice sessions. The class is for intermediate to advanced skilled photographers, ages 16 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According\nto Boller, the class\/club is meant to be a source of inspiration where\nprofessionals can come together to collaborate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I\nam hoping the group becomes a place for those who are seeking to expand their\nlevel of photography by learning and a place we can call each other and say, I\ngot this crazy idea, who wants to help bring it to life,” he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boller,\nwho has specialized in photography for many years, explained that he caught the\nphotography bug as a young boy from his uncle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “My\nUncle Bobby was a professional photographer years ago. He shot primarily race\ncars out on the West Coast. He worked for USAC and Open Wheel Magazine. My\nearliest memories of getting hooked into photography was watching and helping\nmy uncle as he stood on the infield of a small dirt track in Calistoga,\nCalifornia. With the Sun Pak Day-lighter flash, whose battery fit in a backpack\non his back, was bright enough to completely light the end of a half mile race\ntrack and froze the motion of the race cars. That’s when I was hooked,”\nBoller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boller\nwas 12 that summer, and after seeing his uncle work, he knew what he wanted to\ndo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “After\nthat, I got an early film camera, and never stopped,” Boller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boller\nis best known for his portraits but will, quite literally, shoot anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I\nhave shot flowers, automotive, product photography, and wildlife. My passion is\npeople. I love working with people, although that might be one of the hardest\nsubjects to capture. All photography is about seeing and a bit of psychology,\nwhether self-reflective or trying to bring out the best moment of the subject.\nI think Ansel Adams has a great quote about getting the shot, ‘There are always\ntwo people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.'” Boller\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the\nend, Boller hopes the club will provide an atmosphere for photographers to\nlearn and share their ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I think nothing is impossible if given the chance and education. If we can create the space and teach a little something to someone who then runs with it and changes lives, well that would be cool,” Boller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Veterans\nPark Recreation Center is at 55 Homestead Road South, in Lehigh.
