Brooks Jenson is a photographer and publisher from the USA. His magazine ‘Lens Work’ is revered and collected the world over for its fine portfolios and high quality. I have been engaged in his work for nearly twenty years. In this presentation I introduce you to his work and his analysis of why his photographs fail. This is such a different take on my usual, concentrate on what is working and ignore the rest attitude that I have. I believe we need to celebrate the differences. Perhaps there is something here for you to learn.

A miss hap with my computer sees this weeks presentation only recorded as a zoom meeting. Luckily I make two recordings and we have this one as a back up. Luckily this presentation is full of great abstract photographs from many different photographers and makes up for the lack finesse in the recording.

This presentation introduces us to the world of Abstract Photography. I think this only is the start of this huge and ponderous topic.

in this presentation Len discusses his love for the square format.

Len asks us what constitutes ‘fine art photography’? He goes on to explain the nebulous idea that it really is a vague term used to differentiate artistic photography from commercial and editorial photography. Len then explains some of the considerations that you may like to address when creating fine art photography.

In this continuation of the series Analyse This, Len explores some early Australain Pictorialism, with John Kauffman’s introduction of it to Australia and Harold Cazeaux’s Spirit of Endurance. Other artists discussed in this series are Pierre Dubreuil and his tribute to cubism and Jaroslav Rossler’s abstract work from the 1920’s. Len also discussed Margrethe Mather’s work, she was influential for Edward Weston, and they did some amazing work together that Margrethe clearly lead.

Len continues oh his journey through the points made in the book “How to be an artist” by Jerry Saltz. He applies this points to his and your photography / art practice.

In this presentation Len takes us through the work of Jerry Saltz in his fascinating and insightful book on being an artist. This is part one in a two part series. Len illustrates his presentation with work from his “Our Love Affair with Trees'“ series that was co-created with Jodi Rose and is being edited in preparation for the search for a publisher.

Len kicks off a new series with a set of four episodes in this pilot. The goal is to try and capture the magic that happens when we discuss particular photographs, discussing how and why they work or are important.

The intention is that these short episodes are used to market Len’s Club to a broader audience. We are interested to hear your thoughts about them and if we should continue the series. We will chop this episode up and repost it in shorter ten minute bites. To make them more accessible for those moments when ten minutes is just enough.

Len introduces us to the work of Cole Thompson and explores some of his writings on photography.

In this presentation Len introduces us to some seascapes by Steve…

Len discusses the ethics of being a landscape photographer.

Len takes us through some of Larry Fink's ideas on photography. He taught photography for many years and is a recognised master in his genres. His thoughtful ideas about photography have been born from this extensive teaching experience. They are exceptionally insightful and helpful. These ideas are sourced from the Aperture Foundation book from The Photography Workshop Series; Larry Fink on Composition and Improvisation.

Len takes us through the second part of this book, and explains how the points are relevant to us photographers.

In this presentation Len takes us through some of the concepts of genius as they apply to photography and art. These are taken from the book by Marty Neumeier, ‘The 46 rules of genius’.
