Photographer Sean Griffin Profiled On Shocaseme.com After Smithsonian Recognition

December 12th, 2011 - Tacoma, WA

TACOMA, Wash. – Dec. 12, 2011 – Tacoma photographer Sean Griffin is being profiled as featured photographer for the week of Dec. 11, 2011 at Shocaseme.com, a website dedicated to showcasing gifted artists from around the world.

The profile, available at http://www.shocaseme.com/?p=6070, includes five of the artist’s award-winning photographs, plus an extended question-and-answer session in which the photographer describes the sources of his inspiration, identifies influences, and reveals techniques for capturing the perfect image.

“This has been an extraordinary month for me,” said Griffin, founder of Lightscapes Photography. “First came recognition by The Smithsonian; then being chosen by the artists, collectors, and gallery owners on FineArtAmerica as Photographer of the month; and now the Shocaseme.com feature. I’d like to thank the Shocaseme curators for this honor.”

Editors at The Smithsonian chose Sean’s photograph, “Northern Flicker Tail Feather” – a study in still-life natural light photography, as Photo of the Day for Nov. 25. The selection put him in the running for finalists in The Smithsonian’s 2011 Photo Contest, with winners to be announced on March 1.

On Dec. 3, Sean shared top honors as Photographer of the Month on FineArtAmerica.com for his photograph, “Autumn Idyll on Lake Austin” – one of 457 entries worldwide in the competition.

In addition to art photography, Sean specializes in portraiture, photographs special events, offers public presentations on marketing art, and offers a line of merchandise displaying his artwork at www.zazzle.com/lightscapesphoto.

Sean can be reached at lightscapes@me.com, and can be followed on Twitter at @lightscapesfoto.
