Former Riverfront Times photographer Jennifer Silverberg opened up about how she found photography in the fifth annual Peterson Lecture Series on Oct. 3.
Silverberg spoke to a full room in Meramec’s lecture hall 102. During her two hour lecture she spoke about her experience as a photojournalist, sharing photos and the stories behind them.
Silverberg took several photography classes at Meramec many years ago as well as a class on Adobe InDesign and said she had a wonderful experience with STLCC.
According to Silverberg, her ultimate passion is taking pictures of farm animals, people and their food. She loves working with chefs and capturing all aspects of food from farming to preparation to people eating and enjoying.
Silverberg said that some of her best photos are “in-between moments”, photos she could easily have missed if she hadn’t had her camera ready at the time.
“Always wear your camera and always be ready to capture what’s happening around you, because you never know when you’ll take a magnificent photo,” said Silverberg.
