The El Dorado Hills Arts Association is proud to host member and professional photographer, Randall Benton, during our October meeting. He will be primarily presenting on his approach to photography as a journalist, and where the art can be found within a discipline that is essentially utilitarian. He will discuss how to "Focus" on composition, light, and telling a story within an image, all of which are essential artistic skills.
