Adkins, Michael

mikeadkins.jpgBIO:
 
My name is Michael Adkins and I live, work and play in Huntington West Virginia. I am foremost a fine art and people photographer but I shoot all types of photography. I am also an author, traditional oil and graphite artist, instructor and public speaker for the arts. 

 

My approach to photography is a bit unusual. I visualize the image that I want to create long before I ever consider picking up the camera. This can be both rewarding and frustrating. I approach each photo project using traditional artistic values. Focusing on the flow of light, geometric shapes, composition and tonal values. The comment from many people viewing my work for the first time is it looks more like a painting or illustration than a photo. I have been told that some of my work resembles that of the great illustration artist Norman Rockwell. This is the greatest complement that anyone can give as I am a long time fan of his work.


I am the past two term president and current vice-president of the Ohio Valley Camera Club. I am also the vice-president of Tri-State Arts Association, a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.  My work is currently on display in the West Virginia Made gallery in Thomas West Virginia.


I was the recipient of the “Awards of Excellence” in the 66th annual Allied Artist of West Virginia Juried Exhibition and just recently was awarded the level of “Expert In Color” in the Ohio Valley Camera Club.
