Carl Heilman II is an internationally published photographer and author.
Carl has been photographing North American wilds since the mid 1970's, working to capture both the grandeur of these special places, and the emotional and spiritual connection he has felt as well. He's been digital since setting up a 'digital darkroom' with a film scanner and Photoshop 4.0 in 1997, and went fully digital with a Nikon D200 several years ago. His work has been published in numerous publications including National Geographic Explorer, Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug, the New York Times, Nature Conservancy publications, Adirondack Life, and the Conservationist.
His most recent books are the 'The Landscape Photography Field Guide', from Focal Press (fall 2011), and 'Contemporary Landscape Photography', from Amphoto (2010). They are both published internationally by The Ilex Press, London. These books are both comprehensive and concise guides to digital photography. The field guide is printed in a 4" x 6" handbook size that is easy to carry in a camera pack. It is cross referenced, with an index and glossary as well as reference pages for the full digital workflow and shooting guidelines. They both offer photo tips and techniques from Carl's 35 years of experience with a camera.
His coffee table books include, 'The Maine Coast', 'The Adirondacks', and 'Adirondacks: Views of An American Wilderness' by Rizzoli; 'Lake George' by North Country Books; and 3 NY State books by Voyageur Press
Since the 1990's, Carl has enjoyed sharing his photography experience to help folks learn more about photography in his diverse photography and Photoshop workshops. These are based in special landscapes around the country as well as his favorite shooting locations near his home in the Adirondack Park. His AV programs have aired on regional PBS stations, and he was featured in the May 2008 national PBS special, 'The Adirondacks'.
