We can also provide the entire package for you shipping to each of your customers with gift wrapped books, a card from you included in the package, whatever you require.

Quiet Light Publishing – A Busy Start to the Year Already!

The Water by Jill Buckner TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS | ONE VISION

SPEX Art+Vision Show, GSMNP Book Reprinted, Updated Websites, New Prints & Folio’s, Workshop Dates

The Water by Jill Buckner TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS | ONE VISION

It has been a busy year so far in 2013 with the opening of the SPEX Arts+Vision show with Jill Buckner as part of the TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS | ONE VISONproject (www.twophotographers-onevision.com) encompassing our images from Italy and Morocco. When you have roughly 30 images framed for a gallery show it takes a lot of work to edit and print each one before framing and hanging the show. The show will be at the SPEX on Central Street in Evanston through February. If you are in the area you should stop by and check it out. Quiet Light also released several new Folio’s from the work of Steve Azatto, Jill Buckner and Richard Mack. each one has 10-12 small prints and 3-4 signature pages from their work. Each is signed and numbered and are a great choice for those who like collecting photography!

Photographer Richard Mack has brought the vistas and majesty of the Lewis & Clark Trail to life in a magnificent set of 248 color photographs. Richard spent two years visiting key locations along the Lewis & Clark Trail  –  by plane, auto, and on foot  –

In addition, my book Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Thirty Years of American Landscapes is now being reprinted as we will soon be out of stock if we don’t! Part of this process is deciding if there should be any changes before you roll the presses. In this case we had to update the signature page with the updated info, change a Photoshop error on one of the images, and update the current Quiet Light Publishing book list to the final page in the book. We also added four of the best book awards, out of the dozen the book won, to the back of the dust jacket. The book went on press yesterday.

We also released the Quiet Light Workshop schedule for 2013 and updated some of those trips. More on all of that later. Check our websites for the updates. And speaking of websites both the Quiet Light Publishing ( www.quietlightpublishing.com ) and Richard Mack Photography (www.mackphoto.com) websites have been updated with new images and projects!

Award winning photographer Richard Mack is photographing all five of the Great Lakes which hold 20% of the worlds fressh water and 95% of North America's fresh water. This project is an ongoing one which will lead to a book published by Quiet Light Publis

So the year starts off with a bang and next month will be the same as I get back to working on my next book Twenty/Ninety-Five part of the Great Lakes Project (www.quietlightpublishing.com/GLP.php) with a trip to Lake Superior to capture images of the ice and snow. This is a shortened trip from the one I was supposed to make the first three weeks of March. Will feel great to get back to this project! Stay tuned for updates!

Peace,

Richard

 

Folios Allow An Artist to Share – You to Collect

Folio - The Lewis & Clark Trail, Richard Mack, photographer

Folio - The Lewis & Clark Trail, Richard Mack, photographer

As artists we are always looking for ways to show our work to a larger audience, both for the monetary reason and because why you really create art is to share your vision with the world – in addition to the feeling it gives us as we create.

Quiet Light Publishing has released Fine Art Folio’s for each book offered and the work of Jill Buckner and I working as TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS | ONE VISION in Morocco and Italy. Each folio consists of ten to twelve 8 1/2″ x 11″ prints, with a 4 page text signature and is presented in a folder. The image size is roughly 6 1/2″ in width. Each is printed on Epson Hot Press Bright Fine Art Paper using Epson Ultrachrome archival pigment inks to the exacting standards of the photographers. Each folio is signed and numbered by the photographer. Some are presented in both a color and a black & white version. Folio’s are a great value with ten to twelve prints and an artist statement. Each print is suitable for framing.

Small portfolios of work are nothing new. Great photographers have always released prints in small portfolios from Ansel Adams and Walker Evans to Eugene Atget and many others. Often you can buy the entire portfolio or just one print. Because of the price point we have taken you get all 10-12 prints for one low price! A folio is a great way to tell your story about a place or cover an idea you have been exploring. Each photographer chose the best ten to twelve images from a large body of work on each subject to create these intimate Folios. Each body of work then comes from their wish to share these images with you.

To view each one you can go to http://www.quietlightpublishing.com/Folios.php

The Lewis & Clark Trail

Richard Mack, photographer

I spent two and a half years travelling the trail and being in the places the Corps of Discovery were, at the same time of year, in order to give the viewer the feeling of being on the trail with them. This collection of images spans from South Dakota to the Pacific Ocean from my book The Lewis & Clark Trail: American Landscapes. This folio is available in both color and a black & white version.

Folio - Great Smoky Mountains NP, Richard Mack, photographer

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Richard Mack, photographer

I went to the Smoky Mountains when I first took up photography at 18. I spent thirty years honing my craft in this my favorite park. This collection of ten images show the breadth of my work in a set of images from my book Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Thirty Years of American Landscapes.

Folio - Their Love of Music, Stephen Azzato, photographer

Their Love of Music

Stephen Azzato, photographer

Stephen Azzato photographed musicians and asked on question – why do you do what you do? “The beauty of this project for me was being able to sit with a huge range of musicians and explore what drew them to their art”, says Azzato. “I was able to hear it in their voices and record it visually in their images”. In the simple quiet of a green room, without the crowds or bandmates or tour managers, Azzato’s photographs transcend the chaos of the stage and the intensity of the studio to reveal the inner spirit that drives each of his subjects. This set of ten images are from his book Their Love of Music.

Two Photographers | One Vision – Morocco

Jill Buckner and Richard Mack, photographers

We were on assignment in Italy and Morocco in the spring of 2012. What may have started as a mild competition became inspirational and synergistic. We were quite excited about the passion and energy that was unleashed. It is rare for two photographers to work together so seamlessly to create a single, cohesive body of work. In most instances we do not know which one of us shot which images. Therefore we both sign every print.

We had only 4 ½ days to discover the treasures of the country. We photographed in Casablanca, Marrakech, and the countryside in between. We explored new areas of the cities as well as the old souks. We discovered that while photography is most certainly an individual process, under the right conditions it also could be a true partnership.

Folio - Tuscany, Jill Buckner & Richard Mack, photographers

Two Photographers | One Vision – Tuscany

Jill Buckner and Richard Mack, photographers

As photographers we see the world each in a different way. We see an image in our mind and decide on a lens, the proper perspective, and depth of field, all in order to create the image we have visualized. It is a process unique to each photographer. It is a way of seeing which comes from inside of you. Yet when you find someone who thinks the way you do about the craft of photography, it is an exhilarating experience. Someone who sees the world in a slightly different way but creates images similar to yours. Such was the case with us. During the six months we shot images together prior to our trip, we often could not tell which of us had taken a particular photograph. We delighted in the fact that traveling with another photographer meant you never had to worry about the hours spent shooting at a single location because you knew the other was happy to shoot, or just wait, while you worked on a set of images.

It was with that mindset we set out across Tuscany, Florence, and Venice, two photographers working together to capture the beauty of Italy in one body of work. In Tuscany we shot for a client who wanted specific images for a project as well as general landscape images that captured the feeling of Tuscany. We also had a few glorious days on our own, shooting scenery that moved us. Images that said to us – Italy.

Two Photographers | One Vision – Venice

Jill Buckner and Richard Mack, photographers

Two photographers, one vision. What may have started as a mild competition became inspirational and synergistic. We were quite excited about the creativity and energy that were unleashed. It is seldom two photographers can work together so seamlessly to create a single, cohesive body of work.

The process of capturing an image is unique to each photographer. Yet our images are strikingly similar. It is an exhilarating experience to find someone who feels the way you do about the craft of photography. Someone whose view of the world is slightly different than yours, but who creates similar photographs. Such was the case with us. We were thrilled to be traveling and shooting together, secure in the knowledge that traveling with another photographer meant you never had to worry about taking hours to shoot at a single location because your partner gets it.
