Presenters Night (7:30 PM PDT)
Guest Speaker: Vladimir Kostka
Topic: Selective Colour
Website: www.vladimirkostka.com
Details:
Vlad will discuss how to use colour with black and white images to create a certain mood or feelling.
An international fine art and landscape photographer from Vancouver captures beauty in unexpected places through his selective use of colour. He evokes a sense of connection with his subject. As a child growing up in Czechoslovakia, he learned to view the world through a camera lens and developed a love of black and white prints. Since then, he has travelled the world honing his skills as a creative photographer capturing the feeling in landscapes, which range in size from majestic views to the details of a leaf. His talents have led him to teaching photography, publishing his work in several magazines, and selling prints in several galleries and art stores. Vlad prints the majority of his prints at his studio.
