Presentation

Most nature photographers focus on capturing her beauty, but Mount Desert Island-based nature and landscape photographer John K. Putnam suggests taking nature photography to another level by personalizing it, expressing your thoughts, emotions and stories via your imagery.  On Tues Jan 14th Putnam gave a presentation on self-expression through nature photography in which he discussed how he approaches and connects with the nature he photographs, and his creative process for composition and post-processing so as to find meaning and metaphors in his photos. 

John K. Putnam is a full-time nature and landscape photographer based on Mount Desert Island, Maine, home of Acadia National Park. When he moved to Maine in 2015 John founded J.K. Putnam Photography with the mission of building personal photographic experiences for clients, no matter their needs or skill level, by offering private, instructional photo tours. He also leads educational workshops in Acadia, Monhegan Island, Maine’s Bold Coast, The Great Smoky Mountains, the Finger Lakes Region of New York, and has upcoming workshops in Quebec and Alaska. In addition to operating his own photography business, John has worked as an instructor for Out of Chicago and DownEast Adventures and has contributed work to DownEast Magazine, DownEast Calendars, and Sierra Club. John operates a gallery of his work in Southwest Harbor, Maine, where he lives with his wife, two kids, and nervous dog.
