The Joy of Symmetry in Photography
A presentation by Photography Educator, Rick Hulbert

We will explore photographic compositions that embrace “natural” symmetry as well as “creatively re-imagined” symmetry.

Symmetry has been historically appreciated by both the arts and sciences.

According to Scientist Alan Lightman, human brains actually strive to see things symmetrically. “The reason must be partly psychological," he says… “Symmetry represents order, and we crave order in this strange universe we find ourselves in… [It] helps us make sense of the world around us.”
This presentation is designed to be of interest to everyone, regardless of their level of experience and expertise.

Rick Hulbert is an instructor of photography at Simon Fraser University and Langara College in Vancouver, and, in normal times, leads multi-day photo-workshops throughout Europe and North America.
Rick‘s background as an international award winning Architect and Urban Designer informs his photography. His teachings reflect his knowledge of both the History of the 2-Dimensional Arts of Drawing and Painting along with the Science of Human Vision. Rick is a "Life Member" of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and a “Fellow" of The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. Rick was one of only two photographers from North America selected to attend and exhibit at the World Art Games in Bratislava, Slovakia.
