Upcoming
"The Subjective Landscape:
Exploring Creativity and Personal Expression in Our Photography"
Guest Instructor: Chris Murray, Adirondack Photography Institute
- This full-day workshop features Adirondack Photography Institute Instructor Chris Murray, who will dive into the idea that every photograph we take is a reflection of the photographer making the image. The most successful images go beyond simply recording what was present, and become true expressions of the photographers' vision. As a primer, Chris did a 1-hour Zoom for FLPG on October 17, 2020, and it was very well received.
- Date TBA
- This event will be open to the public

About Chris
"I am a professional artist working primarily in the landscape of my home, the woods, lakes, mountains, and streams of New York State. My interest in photographing landscapes is derived mainly from my love of the natural world, the same love that led me to choose geology as my first profession. The skills I have learned as a scientist, the attention to detail and careful observation, as well as a deep understanding of the natural world, have helped me immensely as an artist. For me, the appeal of photography lies in the opportunity to create art in an environment that ceaselessly inspires and invigorates me. In photography I strive to make images that are a reflection of my sensibilities and how I see the world. My goal is not to document literal appearances, but rather make photos that are a creative expression of my emotional response inspired by the subject. My photography tends toward the quiet and intimate, scenes within a scene with a creative focus on simplicity, detail, and strong graphic content. With time I have realized that my most meaningful work comes from places with which I am most familiar and have a deep connection. Ultimately, I wish for my work to reflect what it is to me, a celebration of the creative experience in nature." Image by Michael Linse |
