Here's a dropbox link to my book layout. The bio needs to change. I got a little silly with it. Some parts aren't bad so I'm leaving it until I can come back to it. Any thoughts on a title, would be great!

Louis Dallara

Louis Dallara

Louis Dallara is a Fine art photographer from New Jersey. He shoots a wide variety of styles and subjects. Louis says that he fits the style of how he is photographing to the subject, in order to better bring out it's energy and emotion. I found his website originally looking for plant photography, which was, in itself, well put together. To my delight though, he has a large body of works to shift through and learn from. 
Dallara uses post process editing in his photos. I mean who doesn't these days, but I still find it's an important aspect to note none the less. In my opinion, best to be honest about it. The above triptych is absolutely one of my favorites from his horticulture section. Personally, I have a weakness for triptychs. Triptychs have always resonated with me and this one especially does. The slow pull out from the dandelion, combined with the fade and blur of the colors blending, tying it off with an almost documentary style shot all flows very nicely.


If you had to choose a main "school" of photography for Louis, it would be landscape. As that is most likely the largest portion of his work. I highly suggest taking a peek at his website. Because of his variety of subjects, there is no doubt something that will catch your attention.

Mike Moats

Macro photographer


Mike Moats is a professional Macro photographer, who focuses on post production editing. He teaches workshops around the country and has won awards locally and internationally. His strength lies in his post processing, not to say his composition and other skills are not phenomenal. For my current project I could learn a lot from his work. He has a book titled, "Tiny Landscapes," which released in 2008. He has been shooting since 2001. Since then he has made huge strides in his career to become such a well known macro photographer.
