Natalie Dybisz
|
|
 |
Natalie Dybisz (Miss Aniela) is a young photographer from the UK who stunned the art world by using Flickr to showcase her imaginative, multiple-shot self-portraits, breaking with the tradition of spending years as struggling, unknown artist. In a short period of time, she had developed a huge following that catapulted her to one-woman gallery shows and guest appearances at photographic venues throughout the world. She's a member of Blurb's Pro Council of artists, creating art books using Blurb's BookSmart software, and will show attendees how to get started on publishing their own photo book. (All attendees will receive gift certificates from Blurb that will cover the costs of their first book.) Natalie will also demonstrate the technique of producing her famous clone images, from set-up to finished image. Her latest book, Miss Aniela: Self-gazing may be previewed here. Natalie lives in Brighton, on the Southeast coast of England, with her partner Matthew. |

Ron Wolfe
|
|
 |
Ron Wolfe has an advanced degree in mathematics and was heavily involved with building and maintaining computers for over 25 years before developing a serious interest in photography. As he picked up technical skills, his work began to show an impeccable eye for the unusual and his images quickly began to receive recognition for their fine design elements.
He has received many major awards for his images and has been with the workshop for five years where he teaches and assists attendees with computer problems or with photography or imaging procedures that require going through in detail on a one-on-one basis. Ron and his wife have just built a home and set up a studio in New Mexico, a state where many photographers have migrated due to the spectacular quality of light and the depth of the artistic community. Although his main interests are photography and computers, he is also an accomplished woodcarver. |
