The artist will discuss his artwork and his experiences on Monday, June 8, from 6 to 7 p.m., and all are invited. Blue often applies digital enhancements and/or multiple images to his original photographs to create unique artwork. He calls his creative method “Blutography.” He first learned his craft through trial and error, then with military on-the-job training as a photographer in the United State Air Force during the Vietnam War. In the mid-‘70s and following the completion of his studies at Los Angeles City College, he opened a photography studio in Los Angeles specializing in the fields of portraiture, fashion and glamour. He soon became one of the most sought-after photographers in the Hollywood area. His work has achieved international acclaim – including an Award of Excellence from Nikon Camera Corporation’s international competition.
