Join a committee to learn what's involved in an officer role. Many of todays successful photographers began on this path.

ASMP Member Feature: Eric Lucero

For the past 20 years Eric Lucero has best been known for attention grabbing architectural photography. Chances are good you are unknowingly familiar with his signature style from his work in popular home magazines, or searching the internet for home inspiration. 

With a strong attention to every detail, Eric thrives on having full control of his images from the proper placement of each item within the shot, to how the light seemingly flows naturally across the spaces he captures. It’s important for him to have images which maintain a natural feel, while also leaving viewers curious as to how each space appears so much “better than in person”. 

He finds great pleasure using and learning about the latest gear and post production techniques. With a strong belief that the best images are created using the best equipment it’s easy to see the quality difference in Eric’s photos when viewed among his peers.

Eric’s true strength comes from his curiosity to always learn more and swap insights with other photographers who give him inspiration. He loves sharing ideas about lighting, equipment, editing and, most importantly, the business of photography. It’s paramount to him to maintain the integrity of the craft and be involved with other professionals in groups such as ASMP.

Time: 7pm - 9pm
Cost: Free
Meeting ID: 825 5225 8218

Join us as photographers Selina Roman, Kiliii Yuyan, Jesse Crosby, Stephen Chalmers, Ellyn Norris and Tya Alisa Anthony show us their personal projects in this Pecha Kucha style presentation. They'll each display 20 images and speak for 20 seconds per slide telling us about their project. The slides change automatically, so each speaker will have exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds to tell their story. Please join us.

Pecha Kucha means "chit chat" in Japanese. This creative method of presenting began in Tokyo in 2003, by two distinguished architects as a way to emphasize visuals over text.
