Meet the artist at June 9 reception, take photo workshop

Hummingbird photographs by Scottsdale artist Paul Landau leave you with the impression you're looking through a microscope -- even when capturing birds in flight, his focus is feather-crisp, the dynamic little birds' iridescent colors radiant.

Landau is June's guest artist in the visitor center gallery at Boyce Thompson Arboretum with a solo exhibition continuing through July; visitors are invited to meet Landau during his opening reception June 9, Saturday, from 1-3 p.m. 

Aspiring wildlife photographers who want a chance to shoot alongside this talented photographer can choose between either of two workshops Landau will coach during his exhibition. “Anyone who owns a camera can shoot better hummingbird photos,” adds Landau, “at least anyone with patience who’s willing to learn a little about the birds’ behavior - and about their own camera’s functions for zoom and macro photography. And a tripod helps, of course!”

On Saturday, June 16, and again Tuesday, July 3, from 5-7 p.m., Landau will coach two special workshops at the Arboretum specifically dedicated to the art and science of hummingbird photography -- teaching 10 enrollees about technique.

Each workshop is limited to ten photographers; Landau is donating his time and the $39 fee enrollees pay ($30 for BTA members) benefits the Arboretum. Have a credit card ready and call (520)689-2723 to prepay and reserve a spot in the class.

All images in the exhibit are available for purchase, prices range from $175 to $475, and Landau donates a a percentage of sales to the Arboretum.

Landau will also print his images up to three or four feet wide or tall; landscapes can be even larger. See more of Landau’s work athttp://www.landauimaging.com.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is located at Highway 60 milepost #223, just three miles west of the town of Superior. From June through August, exhibits may be seen in the Visitor Center Gallery daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission is $9 for adults and $4.50 for ages 5-12. Annual memberships at the Arboretum begin at $45, and include a year's access, guest passes for your friends and family, along with many other benefits. A membership may be purchased in the gift shop on the day of your visit.
