Sam Abell began shooting for National Geographic Magazine in 1970, and in a publication where the highest quality work is the norm, his stood out from the beginning.A Canon Explorer of Light, he has photographed projects all over the world - some of which have become legendary among photographers. Abell's work manages to be (at least) three things at once: first-rate photojournalism, beautiful and beautifully composed, and poetic and moving.Abell has also developed a highly-regarded career as a speaker and teacher, mentoring countless photographers for many years, including at the Maine, Santa Fe, and Julia Dean Workshops. As composed as one of his images, clear-eyed, and passionate, he is able to convey what makes images work - and what helps them fail - in ordinary language that anyone at any level can understand.
Tomorrow ASMP/LA hosts an evening with Sam Abell over in Santa Monica. Doors open at 6:30 pm with the event starting at 7 pm. Cost is $10 / $5 for students. Full details here.
