Please join us for a workshop with Mike MacDonald on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 7:15
Mike MacDonald, internationally recognized prairie photographer, will share his secrets for creating breathtaking landscape images of Chicago’s rare habitats. You don’t need to travel to distant lands to find dramatic scenes. In fact, they’re right in your own backyard: in local wetlands, woodlands, savannas, and the ever-changing prairie.
Mike once posed this question to himself, “How can I make photographs of the flat prairie feel as dramatic, powerful, and three-dimensional as pictures of The West?” Over several years, Mike focused all of his energy and creativity on answering this very question. One of the many rewards for solving the prairie puzzle was to become Chicago Wilderness Magazine’s most prominent published photographer.
This brand new program, to be premiered at Foresters Camera Club, is loosely based on his recent November article in Outdoor Photographer Magazine entitled “Land and Sky.” Come and see this inspiring show that features magnificent imagery from a passionate speaker, internationally published photographer, and, believe it or not, professional comedy entertainer. As Mike puts it, “I never give a presentation. I give a performance!”
Preview some of Mike’s photos in his Gallery of Limited Edition Prints, read his biography, and learn about his photography classes through Creative Eye Workshops.
