The Tamron Theater

"All of us tend to think of Tamron as a great manufacturer of optics. Let's face it, they make GREAT glass, but there's another aspect to Tamron's incredible presence in the industry. They believe in education and support for photographers who are working professionals, aspiring pros and serious hobbyists. They're all about helping you with the quality of every image you capture, from their workshops and Tailgate Tour to tech support online, Customer Service and all of their educational material.

In the Tamron Theater we're sharing videos, podcasts, guest posts and images from some of the very best artists in the world. 

Welcome to the Tamron Theater!"

With so much great content including Tamron's "Odd Couple" videos, podcasts and the recent three-part post from Kevin Gilligan on holding your own photography show, it's been a little while since we profiled more of Tamron's Image Masters.  So, It's the perfect time for a spotlight profile of Tamron Image Master, Ian Plant.

On Tamron's Image Masters page he's described as...

World-renowned professional nature photographer, writer, and adventurer Ian Plant has been photographing our natural world for almost twenty years. Ian is a frequent contributor to and blogger for Outdoor Photographer Magazine, a Contributing Editor to Popular Photography Magazine, and a monthly columnist for Landscape Photography Magazine. Ian’s work also appears in many other books, calendars, ad campaigns, and magazines available worldwide. Ian is the author of several dozen books (in both print and electronic format) and instructional videos, including most recently the acclaimed Visual Flow: Mastering the Art of Composition, which spans several centuries and different artistic media in its quest to reveal the composition secrets of the great masters.

It wasn't easy picking out my favorite images from Ian's gallery for this post, because first, they're stunning and second, he's got an amazing diversity as an artist. Take a look and you'll see what I mean. His artist's statement says it all:
 
There is a growing trend among photographers (especially landscape photographers) to engage in extensive image manipulation in Photoshop, turning rather ordinary photographs into something "magical" using computer wizardry (such as replacing skies, extensive color toning to simulate remarkable lighting conditions where none existed, adding rainbows, etc.), too often made without any disclosure to the public. I do not belong to this trend. I consider myself a photographer, not a graphic artist, and as such I rely on field technique (and a lot of patience) to capture real stunning natural events. Call me quaint, but I believe the magic is found out there, not sitting in front of a computer!
