Get a bird's eye view in this demonstration of flat lay photography in which objects are arranged on a flat surface and photographed directly above using space & lighting techniques to tell a story.
Join us as Jessica Oreck from the Office of Collecting & Design will demonstrate a flat lay, a type of still-life photography in which a collection of small items are arranged on a flat surface in an aesthetically pleasing way to tell a story, with a photograph taken directly above the collection to capture all of the items in one frame. Social media content creators & influencers favor this type of photography because they can use space and lighting to showcase products such as cosmetics, toys, new tech, food, and clothing in an orderly yet mesmerizing fashion. Artists and collectors often use flat lay to feature a mix of items in an emotional, thought-provoking visual style often associated with a certain time & place, nostalgic feels and shared memories. Attendees will have the chance to observe the process of setting up the photo shoot, see the final result, and also realize how moving just one piece can change the whole perspective of the shot. After the demonstration, attendees will view the special exhibition of flat lay photography by the Office of Collecting & Design currently on display in the Clark County Library gallery. Free admission & open to the public. Presented by the Gallery Services department of The Library District in cooperation with the Office of Collecting & Design Museum of Las Vegas. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
