Former workshop attendee, faculty member and current Magnum photographer Chris Anderson has won top honors in the Pictures of the Year International competition, taking home the prestigious magazine photographer of the year award.
Faculty alum Tom Mangelsen’s latest tour-de-force, "The Natural World," is an epic 256 page book of his panoramic images from over the world. Self-published and available through Tom’s galleries or online (www.mangelsen.com), it comes in at a huge 10 1/2 by 19 inches which showcases the picture in ways unlike other books. The regular hardback edition retails at $75 but is also available in a numbered, signed edition of 500 in a cloth-covered clam shell portfolio case for $350. And they are going fast.
Mark Kelley, who made the beautiful silhouetted picture of two photographers before the front range of the Grand Tetons used over the years in Summit publications, has just released his latest book published in Alaska. "Alaska, A Photographic Excursion," is his ninth book from the great north and includes text by Nick Jans, both a writer and photographer himself. Including both spectacular landscapes and fine pictures of the people from three regions (Southeast Alaska, Prince William Sound and Denali National Park), copies can be obtained directly from Mark (www.markkelley.com) and they are good examples of very successful self-publishing. And a fine guide for anyone planning a trip to Alaska.
