Local Photographer to Lecture at Regional Convention

Mark Bohland, C.P.P., owner of Maranatha Photography, in Mansfield, will be a featured speaker at the Mid-East States Regional Convention of the Professional Photographers of America. The six state convention is hosted by the Professional Photographers of Ohio.

Bohland will be speaking on the marketing, creation and sales of "Photographic Watercolor Prints".  Photographic watercolor prints are created with a combination of traditional and digital processes.  The resulting image, an impressionistic representation of the original photograph, is printed on watercolor paper. Bohland and his wife Deborah create watercolor prints under the name "First Impressions", for over 100 professional photographers throughout the Eastern United States.

Bohland has also produced a training video which is the basis for his lecture.

The Professional Photographers of America is the oldest professional photographers association in America.
