A huge thanks to Photographer/Brooks Institute Faculty/ Speaker/Author Chris Orwig for his recent post on Prints For Haiti. Chris’s approach to the craft of visual storytelling is one of more refreshing, lively, and simply awesome I know.
I first “met” Chris though his Photoshop CS3 tutorials on Lynda.com. I was just getting my toes wet, stepping into the photography pool and Chris’ instruction moved me from hesitation to diving right in. Within a year, Greg Lawler and I were talking about Lynda.com and I had one of those, “Oh, wait… Chris is a close friend, isn’t he?” moments. Chris’ captures of heroes and legends in surfing speak loud with class. Every time I stroll through his work, I can feel the itch for saltwater, wax, and storytelling. Not to mention he has some outstanding, candid interviews that accompany his photography.
