Documenting Appalachia
Malcolm J. Wilson, digital artist/photographer and Harlan County Kentucky native, will lead "Documenting Appalachia: An Intermediate Digital Photography Workshop" May 20-23, 2010 at Hindman Settlement School. The workshop will focus on photocomposition, lighting, camera settings and preparation of photo files for archival display. Drawing inspiration from the historic Settlement School campus and Knott County’s cultural heritage, participants will have the opportunity to capture the splendor of Appalachia in the spring, using Hindman and Knott County as backdrops.
For nearly 20 years, Wilson has worked with digital photography. Before moving to Bristol, Tennessee several years ago, he worked as a commercial photographer in Cincinnati for 19 years. He currently uses his digital photography skills in advertising and marketing work and for his personal fine arts projects. His photography has been exhibited in the Appalachian region and nationally. His work is included in permanent collections at University of Kentucky Appalachian Center, Southeast Community College Appalachian Archives and The Kennedy Center Gallery and Archives in Washington, DC.
