THE J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM, one of the most prestigious cultural centers in the world, recently accorded Jack an honor by inviting him to present an evening of his travel and architectural photography at the Getty Center. Featured in his Getty program were many innovative techniques and custom equipment Laxer developed that enable him to capture challenging scenes. All custom equipment and techniques referred to above will be demonstrated at Bel Air Camera’s July 31st seminar.

Further, Jack will present an exclusive segment illustrating how photographers with conventional, non-3-D digital or film cameras can easily produce dramatic 3-D photographs … without purchasing additional expensive equipment! This demonstration at the Getty evoked great interest from many professional and amateur photographers in the audience who were surprised to learn of the added creativity and realism their conventional cameras can provide.

Jack’s program at the Getty Museum sold-out to a couple of
hundred persons shortly after its announcement.

Though Travel Photography includes photos of family, friends and people indigenous to destinations visited, pictures of architecture and other subjects are also pivotal for preserving memories of your vacations e.g., churches, theme-parks, statues, museums, landscape scenes, etc. These interesting subjects are important “targets” for your camera.

Yet, how often have you returned from memorable vacations or assignments and were unable to photograph certain important scenes – or were disappointed with the compromised pictures you settled for? Laxer, noted International Travel/Architectural photographer for more than 30 years – whose work has been commissioned by KODAK, NIKON, OLYMPUS, many renowned architects and International Government Tourist Offices worldwide – will share his innovative yet practical techniques that permit you to capture those “impossible” views. Various countries are represented.

Following are just a few of many problematic situations that pros and amateurs invariable encounter. Jack will demonstrate how these and other difficult circumstances can readily be resolved. Techniques are applicable to digital and film photography.

• For example: Jack will show you how to make hand-supported long exposures with your camera (up to 60 seconds and longer) without a tripod while achieving perfectly sharp pictures. His ingenious technique is invaluable when photographing museum interiors (or other dimly lit places) where tripods and flash are prohibited.

• Churches, museums and other interiors you wish to photograph invariably contain mixed light sources which result in pictures with distorted colors. Jack will demonstrate an effective method that ensures perfect color-balanced prints without necessitating purchase of color-correction filters and a color-temperature meter.

• How many photographers carry a slingshot and plastic sandwich bag in their arsenal of photographic equipment? Probably None! … Unless, of course, they attended one of Jack’s seminars. Jack will demonstrate how these two items allow him (and you) to capture photographs that would otherwise be unobtainable.

The LOS ANGELES CONSERVANCY, an association of over 8,000 professionals honored Jack by inviting him to present an evening of his 3-D photographic expertise at the IMAX Theater in Los Angeles where hundreds of people attended. This event sold out in just 3 days as the NEW YORK TIMES reported.
