July 8th, 2025 BPC Meeting - "Photographic Expanding Boundaries" by Dave Bowers

BIO:

Dave Bowers is a Palm Coast, Florida, resident and president of The Flagler Beach Photography Club, LLC. Dave received his Masters in Naturalist Photography from Duke University and began his photographic endeavors at Madison Square Garden, N.Y.  Some of his favorite experiences behind the lens include the North Carolina Ballet, the Concours d’Elegance, and working as an independent correspondent for magazines and galleries. Most recently, Dave has been recognized by The National Wildlife Federation for his photograph titled “Looking Up To Big Brother,” placing number 2 in the world in the Bird category.
Dave relies on an inquisitive eye, a quick shutter release, patience, and the ongoing mentorship of his fellow colleagues. In turn, he derives great satisfaction from teaching others. His current endeavors are now spent exploring the disciplines of surrealism with the current exhibition titled “Dream Weaving.”
Dave is a prominent figure in the local arts scene and has won many accolades. “One of my recent accomplishments however, is becoming a fine art photography judge for galleries and other photographic competitions.”
“I have chosen photography as a means to capture art and beauty in a two-dimensional form while simultaneously evoking provocative questions from within my viewers’ eyes. I embrace the idea that certain moments can go on forever when visually recorded through the camera’s lens. I cannot pinpoint when these moments occur; but when captured and printed, there comes a sense of timelessness that fulfills me -- and hopefully you.”  
“I most enjoy using my photographic skills as my medium to express, engage and educate. Photography is indeed an art form, for it tells a story for others to interpret.”
I would like nothing better than to speak with you about fulfilling your current need for photographic art. I can be reached at: davebowersphotog@gmail.com or by calling 919-961-5271.
