Please help us welcome our next SFUPS In-Person meeting presenter, Jay Freeman, presenting to us on “Using composition to enhance your images”.
Jay Freeman began diving in the mid-80s and never stopped. Jay is a PADI Master Instructor of 35 years, A NAUI instructor of 30 years and was a TDI and SDI Instructor for a few years. Jay began his early career following in the family business as a stained-glass artist. In addition to the stained-glass, he has worked in many different mediums to create both two & three-dimensional pieces of art. He got his first real camera in his late teens and photography quickly became his primary method of expressing his art. It was only natural that he began taking underwater photos as soon as he started diving.
Jay met his lovely wife Rani when she signed up for a trip he was leading in Roatan, they got engaged while on a dive off Sipadan Island in Borneo and honeymooned in Turks and Caicos. Both Rani and Jay are outdoor enthusiasts. They love to travel and their involvement with scuba has allowed them to visit many unique places around the world.

Jays presentation will introduce the audience to some principles of composition and to explain why these skills can greatly enhance your images. We will be discussing why each of these elements can help to make an image more pleasing and show examples of each principle discussed. He will also be showing how to use multiple composition principles in a single image.
Join us for a fun evening with Jay! Happy hour begins at 6pm and the meeting begins promptly at 6:45pm.
