MACRO Photography with Valerie Hoffman

The meeting will open at 6:30 for club members to talk and catch up then Valerie Hoffman will speak on Macro Photography at 7:00 PM.....

"Based out of southeast Pennsylvania, I am an avid landscape, wildlife, architectural and real estate photographer and photography instructor.
I truly cannot remember a time in my life when photography was not a passion. From a very young age, I began taking pictures and learning the fundamentals of photography. This passion led me to pursue a degree in photography, as well as embark on a career in the photographic retail world. For more than 25 years I worked in the industry, selling photographic equipment and helping customers with their photographic needs. After being down-sized at my position as a District Sales Manager in 2009, I began teaching private photography lessons, then group classes and workshops. I absolutely love sharing my 40+ years of photographic knowledge and helping inspire people to take their photography skills to deeper and more creative levels.
I am thrilled to not only be teaching classes, but to also be leading workshops-or Photo Treks as I call them, to some of the most beautiful places both locally and beyond. My goal is to provide an exceptional learning experience, in a friendly and fun environment. I understand that there are many options to choose from to learn. The internet has brought a wealth of knowledge to everyone’s fingertips. But, there is nothing that beats being part of a live learning experience, where you receive hands-on training and instant feedback on your images and techniques. Join me for one of dozens of events being held throughout the year. See the Workshops & Classes page for more details. I guarantee you will improve your skills.
I feel truly blessed to have witnessed so much incredible beauty and to be able to capture and explore the wonders and glory of God’s creation photographically. Whatever I do, I strive to do it with excellence, hoping my life and my images will bring glory to God, the Creator of all the wonders we see."
