IMAGE IS EVERYTHING ~ Photograph Your Art Like A Pro!

Saturday, September 8th, 1 - 3pm

Excellent photographs are a must to show your work at its very best! In this hands-on interactive demo and workshop, you'll learn how to take professional looking photos of your work. Fine art photography experts Jeremy Mckane, Trevor Kobrin will discuss and demonstrate correct lighting and share tips on how to work with backgrounds, filters, various cameras, and more. Artists will have the chance to have a small piece of their art professionally lit and shot (works limited due to time constraints -- first come first serve, please include this request in RSVP).

International photographer Trevor Kobrin, winner of prestigious photographic awards throughout South Africa, Europe and America, has had his commercial and fine art photography featured in international publications Elle, Marie Claire, numerous South African magazines; and locally in D Magazine, D Home, Dallas Design Book, and Cottages & Bungalows. His fine art photography has been exhibited in Johannesburg, South Africa at the Little Louvre Gallery, and the Canvas Gallery among others in Dallas, and may be viewed at www.trevorkobrin.com.

Jeremy McKane, a Dallas native, has traveled the world taking images of landscapes, fashion, and most notably, underwater fashion. Using water, video and camera, he captures the movement and grace of fabric-draped human forms underwater, giving him a distinctive ability to paint with light. His work has appeared in Art + Advocacy, Patron Magazine, and in galleries across Texas including Cohn Drennan, Kettle Art, Mckinney Avenue Contemporary, Rising, Tractorbeam Gallery, and public installations in the Dallas Arts District. www.mckanephotography.com
