The great SAM ABELL will be speaking in Santa Monica on 12/2 at Bergamont Station. A great photographer, teacher and mentor to many; his lectures are inspirational and not to be missed!
Information from an eblast from asmpla:
A Canon Explorer of Light, he has photographed projects all over the world – some of which have become legendary among photographers. Abell’s work manages to be (at least) three things at once: first-rate photojournalism, beautiful and beautifully composed, and poetic and moving.
Abell has also developed a highly-regarded career as a speaker and teacher, mentoring countless photographers for many years, including at the Maine, Santa Fe, and Julia Dean Workshops. As composed as one of his images, clear-eyed, and passionate, he is able to convey what makes images work – and what helps them fail – in ordinary language that anyone at any level can understand.
Whether you’re an experienced pro or a student, and no matter what kinds of images you produce, you’ll receive something from hearing Abell talk that is rare and energizing.
The author of several books, you can watch Abell discuss his work at the Geographic HERE
You can see more of Abell’s work, and read a terrific interview about his book,
