decades. He shares images taken
throughout his successful years in commercial photography, giving “behind the
scenes” anecdotes and revealing what it takes to put a major shoot together and
execute it successfully. Parish

on methods he uses for lighting, posing, composition.
Parish has
recently been working with Cirque performers and will be publishing a book on
their incredible art, performing impossibly graceful feats of the human
body. The presentation includes a brief
video and several shots demonstrating how true artists strive for perfection in
any field.
Parish exposes
the beauty in all things that surround us in our every day live - landscapes,
florals, the human form - and challenges others to do so as well.
