SANP Monthly Club Meeting

July 28, Program - Bill Lea

Photographing the Great Smoky Mountains

Who is Bill Lea? If you have been a member of SANP for a few years, you know Bill Lea as the “Black Bear Photographer.”  He is that, but so much more. To our great fortune, in the past few years Bill has become much more involved in Landscape Photography. At our July meeting Bill will describe some of the creative processes he uses to create his exceptional images. 

With over 50 years of experience photographing the Smokies, his insights and details regarding the driving force and approach behind his images should be of great interest to all our members. Bill believes we all possess the ability to create beautiful art through our photography.

He has authored four coffee-table books. Bill’s latest book is "Great Smoky Mountains – Memories of Mystic Mountain Moods." His most popular book is "Cades Cove – Window to a Secret World." Bill’s attachment to the Southern Appalachian region is unquestionable, and he has shared that interest with the world through appearances in local and national media outlets, and through his books. 

Bill has more than 7000 images published and has been leading photo workshops since 1972. He says his enjoyment of sharing the wonders of black bears, the Great Smoky Mountains, and nature with others is second only to his desire to promote a respect for wildlife, the natural world, and all of God’s creation.

You should definitely make plans to attend this club meeting.
