Join the Charleston Center for Photography in welcoming one of it's own, Mahmood Fazal, for the August rendition of the Second Monday Night Lecture Series on Monday, August 9, 2010 from 6-8 pm with an artist's lecture at 7 pm.  Mahmood Fazal is a self-taught photographer based in Charleston for the last 15 years. He divides his time photographing weddings, portraiture and commercial and sometimes an occasional job from Bloomberg News. He also teaches classes in Digital Photography and Photoshop at the Charleston Center for Photography.  Fine art photography has been an ongoing project for Mahmood. The current series 'Childhood Notions' has been a deliberate departure form 'pure' photographs by injecting a heavy dose of digital manipulation and digital content creation. The current series was part of a collaborative art exhibit  called "Passing Notion?" for Piccolo Spoleto.  Come in and experience these fascinating and whimsical pieces of art first hand, and get an inside look from the artist himself!
