The 2014 Fine Art Photography Summit is the yearly event during which we combine field work, image processing, photograph reviews, presentations and one on one work.The Fine Art Summit features a different guest speaker and is organized in a different location each year. This year’s Summit takes place in Moab, Utah, home of Canyonlands and Arches National Parks and our Guest Speaker and Instructor is Vincent Versace. We have prepared an exciting schedule for you and we are proud to be able to say that this is our 12th consecutive Summit. You can read all the details and register at this link.
One of the many locations we will photograph during the 2014 SummitThe Fine Art Photography Summit is organized by Alain and Natalie Briot. Each year Natalie and I invite a different guest speaker. This year the 2014 guest speaker is Vincent Versace. In previous years we have invited Michael Reichmann, Joseph Holmes, Charles Cramer, Mac Holbert, Jeff Schewe and many other guest speakers.The guest speaker is responsible for giving presentations each day during the Summit, helping photographers with their work during 1 on 1 work sessions, and reviewing participants work during the photograph review on the final day of the Summit.The Summit is organized in a different location each year. This year the Fine Art Photography Summit takes place in Moab, Utah. In previous years the Summit has been organized in Page (Antelope Canyon), Death Valley, Zion, Bryce Canyon and several other locations. The choice of Moab for this year’s location is unique because it provides you with easy access to two National Parks: Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. We will photograph both parks during the Summit. Moab also provides access to many photogenic locations around Moab and to little known areas of the Northern part of Navajoland. We will be photographing little known areas of Navajoland during the field workshop after the Summit, locations that we have never visited during a workshop.This brings me to the Vision Field Workshops. The Summit, which lasts 4 days, is followed by the three days Vision Field Workshop. Just like the Summit the Vision Field workshop takes you to new locations each year. This year we will explore the Northern part of Navajoland, an area which is rarely visited and photographed. We will explore little known locations in Navajoland. Our goal is to take you to the best locations at the best time so you can get the unique light for which the Southwest and Navajoland are known for.
The Vision Field Workshop focus on helping you develop a personal style and express your personal vision. Because the Vision Field Workshop is the natural extension of the Summit, and because most participants want to maximize their trip, they fill out quickly. Right now we only have 2 seats left for the 2014 Summit + Vision Field Workshop. You may still be able to get in, but you will need to act quickly. I expect them to be sold out shortly after people receive this newsletter.2 – About the Guest Speakers
