General Meeting Info
Our meetings are generally held the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm, except in November and December, or if there is a conflict. We meet at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library on Goodwood Boulevard in the first floor large meeting room. Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting. For those wishing to become members, dues are $25 per year, plus $5 each for additional family member. Each meeting consists of a competition and a program featuring a guest speaker. Members are encouraged to submit entries for the competition. We vote on the entries and results are announced at each meeting. Who wins is not important, what is important is the knowledge gained from studying other entries and sharing in the details of how those images were captured.
Next Meeting
This month’s meeting will be offered in-person at the Main Library at Goodwood.
THURSDAY May 22, 2025 6:30-8:30 PM
Langley Anderson will talk about her body of work Mutualism. Using microscopes, she enlarges intricate specimens, revealing a world of fascinating form. By digitally enhancing subjects with vibrant hues, parallels between the structure of these specimens and the elements and principles of art and design are displayed. Her work merges actuality and abstraction, allowing unique anatomical attributes to surface. By blending science and art, she wishes to share the inherent beauty of the natural world in a new way. Langley will share how science and nature influence her work, how she uses science to create photography, and her process of digitally coloring imagery.
Langley grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, and received her Bachelor of Arts from Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in studio art, with a concentration in photography, from Radford University in Radford, Virginia.
Her work has been exhibited globally and has received awards from Tokyo International Foto Awards, France Bioimaging, and the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, among others.
Langley recently taught Digital Photography in the Department of Visual Art & Design at Southeastern Louisiana University.
She currently resides with her family in Ponchatoula where she runs Wild ArtRidge Academy, works as a freelance photographer, and teaches online Art & Photography.
