On Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at 7 pm the Bedford Center for the Arts Photo Group will welcome back Paul Nguyen for a presentation on Time Lapse Photography.  Add a brand-new dimension to your photographic passion by learning how to create time lapse movies. By capturing your subjects with time lapse photography, processes that normally appear subtle or unnoticeable to the human eye, such as the motion of the sun and stars, or the ordinary daily events of the city, become very pronounced. This type of photography uses still photos taken at regular intervals, which, when shown in sequence as a video clip, create a high-speed animation of an event taking place. With digital cameras, creating time lapses is easier than ever, and many newer camera models even have built-in time lapse programs. Let Paul show you the camera techniques and editing programs he uses to bring life to landscapes, sunsets and rises, and the night sky.

Professional Photographer Paul Nguyen has lived and worked from coast to coast across the U.S. and has over 30 years of experience in film and digital photography. He specializes in digital photography of natural landscapes and wildlife from around the world. In April 2017, he served in the prestigious National Park Artist in Residence program at Petrified Forest, Arizona, and continues to create programs for the National Park Service. His work also includes an exclusive assignment as a photographer for the Boston Museum of Science, and a position as a program guide and brand ambassador for Swedish outfitter Fjällräven.

Paul lives and works out of Flagstaff, AZ, and can be seen promoting and selling his work at art shows across the southwest. He is also a lecturer and contest judge for camera clubs and the New England Camera Club Council. The Boston Camera Club awarded him Judge of the Year honors for 2015-2016. paulnguyenphoto.com
