Advocacy and Digital Fine Art Photography Presentation

I’ve been spending the past few days putting the final touches on a presentation I’m giving at Bay Path College tonight.  The topic is “Advocacy and Digital Fine Art Photography”.  I’m really excited about the talk and hope it all comes together properly.   Like a really great print, I think I could spend another month tuning it.

The talk will delve into the general area of “conservation photography” and how photographers strike a balance between “art” and “authenticity”.  I will discuss how the human vision system works, the technological challenges of photography, and why certain types of image modifications (like tone and color balance) are generally acceptable by the public as not being “photoshopped”.

While I was able to draw upon my photography for most of the images, I’m deeply grateful to fellow photographers Gib Robinson, Scott Linstead, and my mentor Chas Glatzer for contributing some images that I just don’t have on hand.
