Alec's bio

By day, Alec Hosterman is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. While there, he teaches courses in public relations campaigns, research, writing, and visual communication. But once he puts down the red grading pen, Alec picks up his camera for some well-deserved image therapy! Alec has been behind the lens for over 20 years, shooting anything from nature to landscapes, architecture to street. He also teaches photography courses for a local art studio. Alec lives with one spoiled dog, two vocal cats, and way too many cameras to count.

Hit The Streets 75: 28 Minutes with Valerie

Valerie Jardin February 22, 2018

Take a listen here or on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, etc.

This is a monologue episode as I have quite a few announcements this week... I also answer a listener question about anxiety on the streets.

Call For Entry

I am excited to be the juror for a new Call For Entry with the Minneapolis Photo Center. To enter, please visit the Mpls Photo Center website 

Theme:

The Eyes of A Stranger - Street Portraits
Making a good portrait of a complete stranger is a challenge that all serious photographers must eventually face. It is an acquired skill. 
It's one thing to take a picture of a pedestrian or stranger on the sly, and quite another to actually make a portrait of them. 
We can choose to engage them or not, but each encounter should result in a positive experience for the subject and the photographer. 
The desired end result is a strong photograph that does reveal the brief connection that we shared.
The eyes don't lie. Nor does the camera.

Timeline:

February 22: Call for Entry OPENS 

April 22: Call for Entry CLOSES

May 1: Judging completed and 60 exhibitors announcements are made

June 1: All exhibit photographs are framed and ready to hang in the gallery at MPC
