Star-studded speaker line-up at PhotoPlusExpo

Get ready to be dazzled (and informed) by some of the biggest names in photography. We're pretty stoked to announce the photographers who will be giving short presentations in the Moab booth (#750) during the upcoming PhotoPlusExpo show in NYC.

Like all things Moab, we are taking a slightly different approach to these presentation: We've simply asked the speakers to talk about themselves and their work - no sales pitch. Some will be conducting hands-on printing workshops while others will be providing an intimate discussion on their work. Harold Davis will even be giving away copies of his new book!

We're still hammering out the exact times, but the confirmed line up will include Andy Biggs, Barbara Bordnick, Harold Davis, Jody Dole, Robert Farber, Jim Graham, Ryszard Horowitz, Douglas Kirkland, Jim LaSala, Michael Soluri, Salvatore Vasapolli and Michael Zide.

As you can see, all the photographers are at the peak of their game, each having made a huge impact on the photo industry. Expect every presentation to be a keynote event.

The Elegant Images of Barbara Bordnick

The online photography site PhotoWorkshop.com recently ran a DoubleExposure cover story on our very own Moab Master, Barbara Bordnick.  Here's an excerpt:

From her fashion photography to portraits of jazz singers and lyrical images of flowers, Barbara Bordnick's elegant work has been published internationally over the past 35 years. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards, and last year, her portrait of lyricist E.Y. Yip Harburg became a commemorative U.S. postage stamp. She has published volume I, II & III of a series of books entitled and states, "I think creative people are always searching."

The Imaging Buffet

From Andrew Darlow's popular site The Imaging Buffet listing some highlights from PhotoPlus

Moab Paper (Booth #630) Moab recently unveiled some great looking portfolio books named ICE NINE, in 8×9 and 12×13 inch format. Also, the company has a great sample rack with their entire photo line. I made a print for their booth this year, and the company printed up a card with one of my photos and a partially excerpted tip from my book, 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques. I also recommend checking out the Moab Somerset Photo Satin 300 paper, as well as the amazing botanical image by Barbara Bordnick printed on the company’s Moenkopi Japanese Washi. Very impressive.
