The Silver Spring Camera Club is proud to open its 2018-2019 season with an amazing presentation from landscape photographer, Bernard Chen.  Bernard will dazzle you with his beautiful images of nature along with time lapse photos and cinematography.

Bernard Chen is an award-winning landscape photographer who has found his passion with a camera in his hands.  He has a heart of an artist and is an aspiring nature photographer based out of Northern Virginia.  Besides capturing beautiful images of nature, Bernard’s passion for his camera has also extended to other artistic elements, broadening his talents into time lapse photography and nature cinematography.

Bernard’s introduction to photography began in 2001 while working with Photoshop at the National Cancer Institute.  For the past fifteen years, his work has been published in scientific journals for a world-renowned cancer genetics laboratory in Bethesda, Maryland.

His expertise in Photoshop and his love for nature finally coalesced when he bought his first camera in 2009.   His skills rapidly advanced thanks to his burning desire to succeed.  It was this desire to be the best that also brought him into the field every free minute he had.   This effort resulted in his becoming a talented photographer whose work has been sought out by the National Library of Congress, National Geographic, West Virginia Land and Trust, Mattel, Toyster Brinquedos, Solitudes.com, and the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.

Bernard has successfully instructed his own workshops from West Virginia to Maine, South Carolina to Montana, and he thoroughly enjoys passing his knowledge to fellow photographers.
