Stanford Ullner presents
A Minimalist Approach to Photographing Flowers
Friday, March 9, 2018, 9:00 am
Seabrook Island Lake House

Be sure not to miss Seabrook Island’s very own distinguished photographer Stan Ullner. Stan’s hot topic will be A Minimalist Approach to Photographing Flowers. Stan was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and got his start as a sports photographer for his high school newspaper. His images have won multiple awards in Ohio and South Carolina. Now a passionate photographer for over 60 years, his main interest is street shooting with a slant toward finding geometric images in their natural setting. Stan helped start the photography club on Seabrook and was one of the first photographers to be allowed to join the Charleston Artist Guild. For more information on Stan and to see his work, be sure to visit his website here.

We look forward to seeing you at the Seabrook Island Lake House on Friday, March 9, starting at 9:00 am and continuing on the 2nd Tuesday of each month through May 2018. New neighbors and guests are always welcomed.

For information on membership please contact Holli Bolte, email: hmbolte@yahoo.com
