COLOR Magazine Award
Merit Award
B&W + COLOR Magazine



I received a great piece of news last month when I learned my work would be featured in B&W + COLOR Magazine's annual Color Portfolio Special Issue! Here's what they said...
  

"Congratulations! Your entry in our COLOR Portfolio Contest 2011 has been selected for a Merit Award. This means that several images out of your portfolio will be published in the Special Issue #86 of B&W + COLOR magazine scheduled to arrive on newsstands the first week of September. There are only 67 winners in this category (out of a total of 480 entries comprising 778 portfolios, and approximately 8500 images), so you can be confident that we felt your work stood out from the rest in a way that deserved this special attention. Once again, congratulations!"

 

--All of us at B&W + COLOR Magazine

  

It's an honor to be recognized with an award by this fine art photography magazine. Available on news stands now.

New Portfolio Released!
Lens Painting

I could work on this portfolio forever, but with the award from B&W + COLOR Magazine what better time to release it? Many of you have probably seen a photo here and there from past newsletters and my Facebook page, but now you can see all 48 photos from this body of work spanning the last 5 years.

 

My 5th Portfolio, "Lens Painting," includes the 11 photos selected by B&W + COLOR Magazine, "San Francisco at Light Speed" (2010), "Autumn in West Glacier" (2007), "Painting the Vineyard" (2009-2010), "Sequoia National Forest" and "Black & White" (2007-2010).

New FaceBook Page Just for Steve Zmak Photography

You already may be connected to me through FaceBook, but I have created a second page for myself just for photography. The time has come to separate my professional photography FaceBook presence from my personal presence. If you'd like to follow my photographic escapades, please send a "friend request" to Steve Zmak (Chase Light). If you'd like to continue following my beer and wine tasting adventures, and general daily happenings, then please continue as my FaceBook friend for just plain Steve Zmak, too. I will not be duplicating posts between the 2 FaceBook accounts.

 

As I share new photos for the first time on my new page, my FaceBook friends will have the

exclusive offer to purchase 8x10" prints for just $25 for up to 30 days. After that, the photos will only be available in my standard 12x18" format for $200.

 

Here's what my new FaceBook page looks like so you can be sure you've sent your friend request to the correct Steve Zmak (Chase Light)...

 

Steve Zmak (Chase Light) FaceBook Page

If my profile picture is a silhouette of me and my camera, you've got the correct account. If you see my smiling face over a pint of beer, that's my personal account.

 

In addition to exclusive offers, I'll also be asking your opinion on many new photographs and projects I'm currently working on; keeping you updated on where I'm exhibiting; and sharing photography tips and tricks to help advance your own photography and artistic endeavors.
