Kelly Kane’s Pick of the Week: An All-Important Focus
“To me, the atmosphere of the beach is the all-important focus. Let the photographer document the detail; I’ll capture the essence of the place by enhancing what’s already there. The plein air impressionist’s job is a wonderful one, and it doesn’t mean copying the scene, it means capturing the day.” — Mike Barr, “Creating the Illusion of Distance, Light, and Atmosphere in Beachscapes” (June-July 2018 PleinAir Magazine)
