Eli Vega, a highly published award-winning photographer and author, will give a presentation entitled “Abstracts, Close-Ups, & Special Effects,” at the Flatirons Photo Club monthly meeting at 7 p.m. this Thursday, June 11.
He has just finished writing his second photography book, “Right Brain Photography (Be an Artist First).”
Vega teaches photography at Arapahoe
Community College, the Arvada Center for the Arts, and Boulder Digital Arts. He also teaches three-day workshops in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Vega was born in a railroad boxcar, spent most of his formative years in west Texas, majored in art for three years, and moved to Colorado 11 years ago from Dallas.
His former life was in the Learning and Development field, where he was certified as a workshop facilitator. Those credentials, coupled with his extensive photography teaching, provides students with a down-to-earth, laid back, learning experience – with a touch of home-spun humor.
