Local Photographer Continues Winning Streak
It has only been six short months, but since relocating to Vero Beach, professional photographer J. Scott Kelly of Island Images Professional Photography Studio, Inc. has received six awards for his images through the Indian River Photo Club monthly print competitions. Out of these six images, Scott received two first place ribbons, two second place, one third place, and one honorable mention in all categories from color, black and white, and special technique.
Winners from these monthly competitions recently presented their award-winning prints to be judged in the photo club's "Best Picture of the Year" Competition. Scott continued his winning streak not only with each of his six monthly winning prints receiving ribbons for either first, second, third place or honorable mention in their categories, but also receiving the "Best Picture of the Year - Members Choice 2008" award for his black and white image of a father and son entitled "In Thy Father's Arms."
In addition to these awards, Scott recently entered two images in the Special Technique Division of the Indian River Photo Club's 2009 Photographic Print Exhibit. His scenic image entitled "Under the Seaway" received a second place ribbon and his artful image of a sundial entitled "¿Qué Hora Es?" took third place. This juried exhibit is currently on display in the Studio Gallery at the Vero Beach Museum of Art through January 4, 2009.
Scott said of his recent accomplishments, "Although it's nice to be recognized for my work, what I love most is creating images for others to enjoy."
Scott is a full-time professional photographer in Vero Beach with over 25 years of experience in the field. He specializes in custom portraiture, as well as commercial and public relations photography. You may visit the Island Images website at http://www.islandimagesprophoto.com/for more information.

The reasons for giving their hair varied for each person who donated. Berit Fagan of Vero Beach, who donated 11 inches of hair, explained “I started growing my hair (to donate to Locks of Love) when a friend’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately she is no longer with us and I wanted to do this to honor her.”KIDS HELPING KIDS - PHOTOGENIC CONTEST HELPS SICK CHILDREN

"If Basic Studio Lighting Is Your Cup Of Tea"
This three hour, (1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.) workshop will introduce the photographer to the basics of studio lighting for product and/or still life settings. We will be photographing a simple TEA SET that could be seen in any display advertising or in your kitchen!We will start by learning how to set the stage and style a shot then light the scene by using one studio light and various reflectors. This could easily be duplicated in your home to light various still life scenes. Best of all you can also accomplish this same technique with a simple hand held flash unit that you would use with your camera everyday! (REMEMBER THERE IS ONLY ONE LIGHT IN THE SKY!)
