Image by Photograph of Charleston Harbor taken by Michael Kahn

On Friday, November 5th, downtown Charleston's Martin Gallery welcomes internationally renowned photographer, Michael Kahn to present his newest collection of photography.

Michael travels extensively to photograph the world's finest boats and pristine seascapes. He collects his images on traditional black and white film, then produces his luminous silver gelatin photographs in his darkroom using skills he has refined over the years. Michael Kahn's traditional technique united with his distinctive sense of form, composition, vision and technical mastery has helped him to become one of the most collected photographers of our time.

Introducing a new collection of images featuring the Charleston Harbor, viewers will delight in the industrial nature of this new collection. In addition to bringing new work to show, Michael will be signing copies of his book entitled The Spirit of Sailing: A Celebration of Sea and Sail.

Kahn's will be on hand to discuss his new work and sign books from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Martin Gallery, located at 18 Broad Street.
