Tamron Talks: Image Master Michael Gilbert and Fine Art

Intro by Skip Cohen

Tamron's Image Masters are a pretty diverse and amazing group of artists. They cover the full range of photographic specialties and interests, but there's one common denominator with all of them, their passion for the craft!

Michael Gillbert is an Image Master and what made this podcast so much fun is that we've known each other for easily twenty-five years, going back to my early days at Hasselblad. It's been a kick watching Michael's work change over the years. He's evolved into one of the industry's most talented fine art photographers today. 

I chose several images, pretty much at random, but they show the range of his work. From a scene that could be defined as street photography to a whimsical couple's session and on to the serenity of the Hawaiian tropics, Michael's work is always unique. Check out his Facebook page, where you'll find most of his work and contact information.

A big thanks to Michael! We actually recorded this on a Sunday morning his time in Hawaii. I sure do appreciate him taking the time to do a podcast and to Tamron USA for their never-ending support to the imaging community. And, check out their new SP35mm and SP45mm lenses. They've made some remarkable glass, but that's what we've all grown to expect from Tamron!

Their tech team, made up of some of the finest artists in our industry are on the road throughout 2015 with the Tamron Tailgate Tour. Check the schedule to find out when they're coming to a city near you.
