Whichever point we are in our photographic journey, the tendency is to concentrate on which camera, lens, software or plugin we think we need to make better photographs. While the tools we use are important, what we see, feel and say through them is even more important. During the August Sandy Springs Photography Club, Mark Maio will go beyond the technical aspects of image making and using his dual career in photography (medical/technical imaging & fine art photography), he will discuss how each half of his photographic life contributed to the photographic life lessons that have shaped his vision and voice.
About the Presenter:
Mark Maio divides his time between personal fine art documentary photography and imaging in the field of ophthalmology. He has an Associate and Applied Science degree in technical photography, a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Photography, a Master of Arts in Humanities and a Master of Fine Arts in Photography and Communication Design. He has held teaching positions at Emory University, the State University of New York at Buffalo and as an Adjunct Professor of Photography at Rochester Institute of Technology.
His fine art photography has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the country in addition to being included in public and private collections. In 2007 a (12) print portfolio of his “Against the Grain” work was purchased by the George Eastman Museum for their permanent collection. His photography is represented by Lumiere Gallery in Atlanta, GA. Mark has a second home on the Isle of Skye, Scotland and teaches workshops there.
