June 4th, 2024 BPC Meeting -"On the Streets with Photojournalist Bob Self" by Bob Self

Bob will discuss the process of photographing on the streets in dynamic and often not-so-dynamic situations using the tools (camera and lens choices), composition, and available light to distill a moment from an event into a single storytelling image.

BIO

Bob Self has been a staff photographer for almost 40 years covering the full spectrum of news, events, arts, and sports as well as the often-overlooked individuals who make up the daily ebb and flow of life in the greater Jacksonville area. Bob was an Air Force brat, moving every couple of years, living around the US and overseas before attending High School in Melbourne, FL. A graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography, he learned the business of photojournalism by working for the Independent Florida Alligator, The Associated Press, The Gainesville Sun, and other publications. After graduating he went to Daytona Beach Community College for their two-year intensive nuts-and-bolts commercial photography program before landing his job at The Florida Times-Union.
