Photographers Linda Zamelsky and Alice Hall will discuss the art and intricacies of photographing orchids at the Malibu Orchid Society meeting at 7 p.m. on January 15 at the Woman’s Club, 901 Haverford. The program will also include a culture session with Karen Smith, who will talk about the use of Merit 75 WP for the eradication of mealy bugs. Zamelsky’s interests have always been in the visual arts. In the past, she was a teacher and a ceramicist. For over 20 years, she worked as an architectural designer for commercial and residential projects. Most recently, photography has been her focus. Active in the Norwalk Camera Club, she won first place awards in the annual competition for her portrait of ‘Keep Your Eye On The Ball,’ a photo of her grandson Jonathan, as well as for the photograph of a Phalaenopsis. Hall, who has been a professional photographer for over 30 years, will offer tips on photographing orchids. A graduate of the Art Center College of Design, her career began with creating album art and advertising for record companies, including A&M, Capitol, CBS and MCA. Alice was a staff photographer for NBC Television Network for 12 years. There she created images for advertising publicity and promotion. Extensive location coverage for movies and miniseries took her to such places as Russia, Thailand, Mexico, Australia and throughout the United States. Currently she runs her own photography business specializing in portraits of people and pets. Her work can be viewed at www.ashpetpix.com or www.ashphoto.com
