SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - liveBooks, Inc. (www.livebooks.com), the
leading provider of customized portfolio websites and marketing software
for professional photographers, has announced a free, three-part webinar
series about composition with world renowned nature photographer Art Wolfe.
In the "Art on Art" series, Wolfe will share insights from his 30-year
career as a photographer and discuss points of view, focal lengths and lighting on June 10 at 11 a.m. PT, July 6 at 3
p.m. PT and Aug. 4 at 11 a.m. PT, respectively. There is no fee associated
with the webinars; participants are asked to register by visiting
liveBooks'
webinar calendar and selecting the session they would like to attend.
"Over the years, I've come to learn a number of tricks that can really make
an image pop, create a sense of drama and help viewers connect with the
subject," said Wolfe. "I hope to pass along some of that knowledge during
this series and help other photographers view their subjects in a new
light."
Wolfe is best known for his
photographs of wildlife, landscapes and native cultures, and his mastery of
color, composition and perspective. He has taken more than one million
images in his lifetime and has released more than 60 books, two of which
made Graphis' list of the 100 best books published in the 1990s. In May
2007, Wolfe made his public television debut with the high definition
series "Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge"; the first season garnered
American Public Television's 2007 Programming Excellence Award and was seen
by 33 million viewers.
"We are thrilled that Art has agreed to share his work and his exceptional
understanding of the industry with our liveBooks community," said Andy
Patrick, CEO and president of liveBooks. "The ongoing webinars we offer are
a wonderful way for photographers to continue to grow and learn as
professionals, and we are honored to have someone of Art's caliber joining
this effort."
In addition to Wolfe's three-part series, liveBooks' webinar participants
will also have the opportunity to attend an ongoing series dubbed
"Perfecting Your Workflow with Lightroom" this summer with professional
wedding photographer and photography instructor Jared Platt.
