Next Friday (the 13th!) there will be an image extravaganza at the Studio 101 Gallery in Pilsen.  Paul, along with various other Chicago-area photographers, will be displaying artwork created exclusively with Steve Jobs’ notorious little socialization device, the iPhone.

Drawing from various interests and influences, the contributers have used the relatively simple image capturing mechanism of the iPhone as a further extension of their visually creative take on the world.

The opening reception will run from 6-10 p.m. Friday evening, and we would love to see you there!  Find the event on Facebook HERE and invite our friends!

Coming up at the end of October Paul Elledge and Leasha Overturf are teaching a week long workshop on Contemporary Black-and-White Portraits in San Miguel De Allende, MX.

This is a workshop for accomplished photographers who are ready for the challenge of overcoming the limited nature of traditional portraiture. To create dynamic portraits, Paul and Leasha encourage participants to avoid photographic clichés and discover new ways of seeing that come from one’s imagination. We discuss issues such as instinct, self-confidence, and trust in the creative process, as well as methods for collaborating with clients and subjects, handling difficult personalities, and working effectively under pressure. Get more info here.
