Landscape photography and how to keep it simple and still produce some super work.
Our speaker is Mike Marvins. The program will cover Mike’s approach to landscape photography in either exotic places or in your own backyard – the principles are all the same. It’s really about seeing and vision.
He will also touch on some easy post processing hints for the final touches. Equipment? Yes, he will go over that too. But, it will not take long!
Mike has taught professional and amateur photographers for many years. After forty years of portrait photography at Kaye Marvins, Houston’s leading Studio started by his Dad over 70 years ago. Mike started working with landscape photography–mostly on backpack trips in Big Bend. This evolved into the best-selling book, “Texas’ Big Bend, A Photographic Adventure”, some associated major exhibits and sales of large prints for commercial spaces all over Texas. The book is still selling well and all book profits benefit The Big Bend Conservancy. After several more book projects for commercial companies, it was back to landscape work with “The Texas Hill Country, A Photographic Adventure” (Texas A&M University Press-2018 ). The introductory essay is by Native Texan and Houston Chronicle columnist, Joe Holley and the photography commentary is by Roy Flukinger, the longtime Photography Curator of the Harry Ransom Center-The University of Texas. This coffee table book benefits the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
Mike will have a few of his books available for sale at the February meeting. If you would like to purchase a copy before the meeting and bring with you, they are available at Amazon (click here). The books for sale at the meeting will be for the same price as on Amazon. Mike will accept credit cards or personal checks.
This will be a fun evening!
