Facebook: Peter Liu Photography

Posted by Kris on February 2nd, 2010

This week’s edition of my weekly Facebook Photographers series brings us back to the island of Maui once again with the very talented Peter Liu.

I’ve been following Peter and his work on Twitter (@peterliu47) for sometime now, and got the chance to meet him in person last September at the huge #MauiTweetup we had. In fact, Peter is the unofficial #MauiTweetup photographer, and it’s always good to see photos of everyone during those events. Even though I can’t be there for all the fun, seeing everyone smiling and having a good time fills me up with Aloha.

Peter’s Work

Peter’s been at this a long time, and you can easily tell by the quality of his work and his wealth of knowledge on just about all aspects of photography. His specialties include landscapes, nature, and amazing underwater photography that makes me want to take my camera gear underwater and explore. Although, I guess I should learn how to swim first. ;)

Not only is Peter an award winning photographer, he’s a big techie and social media fan, too. Using his way with the web, he also shares many tutorials online to help others learn to shoot and process images the way he does. He’s even looking at hosting an open-invitation photowalk during August right around the time I’ll be there for the ‘10 Maui Photo Festival. It will be pretty neat to be able to shoot along side Peter and learn from a true master of this craft.

The Photos

As always, pictures speak louder than words, so here are a few links to find more of Peter’s work.

Facebook: Natalie Brown Photography

Natalie Brown Photography LogoEach week, I’m planning to feature one of the great photographers I follow on Facebook. For the first edition in the series, I decided to feature someone that I have first-hand experience with…as a client.

This week’s featured Facebook Page belongs to the very talented wedding and portrait photographer, Natalie Brown.

For our annual Maui trip last February, my wife and I decided we wanted to have vacation portraits taken as a special and personal keepsake of our favorite island in the world. Doing our research, we first found her listed on the Maui Photographers Organization website, and it was obvious her work was primo good. The photo shoot went off without a hitch, and we couldn’t ask for better photos. I wrote a recap of our experience – with photos – over at my Maui blog.

We then got to meet up with Natalie a second time this past September at the Maui Photo Festival. It was very neat attending a few workshops with her, getting to shoot along side of her during the sunset hula session – although her images were much better than mine – and even having my portfolio reviewed by her during the 4 day event.

See For Yourself

You don’t necessarily have to take my word for it. Check out her work with the links below, fan her page on Facebook, and try telling her work isn’t amazing. :)

More to Come

Thanks for checking out the first edition in this series. I plan on featuring a new Facebook page each week, so check back next week to see another photographer to follow.

Feel free to let me know what you think of the series, and if you have a Facebook page you think I should feature here, leave a comment on the discussion topic posted over at my own photography Facebook page.
