Paul Hassell Presents Workshop At Chattanooga Photographic Society Meeting

Wednesday, March 06, 2013

Paul Hassell will present a workshop at the March 21 Chattanooga Photographic Society meeting. 

Review for Paul Hassell:

Though you might see his signature in the corner of a photograph of a black bear cub in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Mr. Hassell isn’t strictly a photographer. He is in the light business.

An entrepreneur since the age of 15, Mr. Hassell defies convention at every turn and gives a kind of permission for others to find their vocations and live them.

Mr. Hassell found his calling and organized his life around it. He designed his own major at the University of Tennessee—Freelance Photography and Writing for the Natural Environment. He is a member of the North American Nature Photography Association and the Southern Appalachian Nature Photographers.

Mr. Hassell grew up in Knoxville and lives in Kodak along the French Broad River. He has been published in National Parks Magazine, Time/Life and National Geographic books.

The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. at the St. John United Methodist Church, 3921 Murray Hills Dr.  For more information call 344-5643 or e-mail Bill Mueller at president@chattanoogaphoto.org. For more information about the Photographic Society of Chattanooga, visit http://chattanoogaphoto.org.
