New Orleans, LA – The American Association of Entrepreneurs has awarded New Orleans art dealer and businessman Guy Lyman its annual Entrepreneurial Independence award, according to AAE spokesperson Samuel Hamm.

“We believe Guy Lyman represents the ideals we like to celebrate with this award,” said Hamm. “He has built a thriving Internet business from scratch, established an advertising consulting business, a mineral specimen brokership, and parlayed his intimate knowledge of art into an art gallery and consultation business in New Orleans. “

Following the dot com crash at the turn of the millenium and the collapse of his partner’s advertising business, Guy Lyman first exploited his knowledge of rare mineral specimens to form a partnership with Dallas mineral dealer Rob Lavinsky, which lasted five years. During this time, Lyman not only continued in the advertising business, but also established Flor Nutraceuticals, LLC, which distributes natural nutraceutical products to treat health conditions. Flor Nutraceuticals will gross over $350,000 this year.

“What the committee really admired was that Guy Lyman started his nutraceuticals company with no former knowledge about the business. So he had to learn the ins and outs of running a successful Internet-based business, while also formulating and producing these herbal formulas based on research that he did himself; we felt this was very impressive for someone with a background as an advertising writer. And he did this while continuing to work in two other businesses. “

“The mineral business was relatively easy to pick up, but there was a huge learning curve for the first year of the nutraceuticals business,” said Lyman. The Internet is crowded, and it takes a real effort to make money with an Internet business. And, I really didn’t know anything about herbal treatments for health conditions, but I saw it as a growth industry with plenty of pre-existing research I could take advantage of. “

Guy Lyman is most excited about his new art gallery and consultation business in New Orleans. “I always wanted to move back to my old hometown, and this business was the perfect excuse. It allows me to indulge myself in a life-long passion for art, and it’s something I can do while still running the other two businesses. “

“Here’s a guy who within a span of 10 years is writing ads, dealing in mineral specimens, starting a health products company, and establishing an art business — and being successful at all of them,” said Hamm. This maverick spirit is exactly what the Independence Award is all about. “

Just like any other type of picture , fine art nature photography is designed to communicate a message .   Great photos of nature should put subjects in the light you want and communicate well.   If you want great results, composition is very important . Here’s a look at some of the most important basic fine art nature photography techniques , and ways to use them.   You need to remember – sometimes an amateur can get a great photo , but to do it on purpose it takes some practice !

When it comes to photography, composition refers to how the visual elements are arranged .   Photographers do this using many elements, such as tone, perspective, line, color, lighting, and depth.   While it can be pretty scary to think about all of them when you take a photo , it’s possible to simplify this issue .   Simply ask several questions of yourself when you look through your viewfinder.   What’s the message of the photo , and how can you best communicate this message?  If you figure out the answers, the other factors simply fall in line.

Fine art nature photography with a clear message is more successful .   This doesn’t mean all the photos you take an allegory or even a statement politically.   The messages involved are most often simple, and often hard to articulate .   But a message is found in good photos.   You need to take a few minutes to think.

Remember to keep things simple as you compose , especially if fine art nature photography is new to you.   Don’t try to get lots of subjects into a photo – just one will do .   Some professionals actually look at scenes in terms of what they can remove and yet keeping the composition good.   Just fine tune through the viewfinder until you’ve removed as many distractions as possible .

You must have patience.   Good composition doesn’t happen quickly , although it often looks like .   Some nature photos take up to ten minutes to compose .   While some photography does require quick pointing and shooting , you need to slow down as much as possible .

Don’t ignore any part of the scene .   Fill the frame with interesting, on-message areas .   Get closer or zoom in to keep it from being too small .   Remember verticals – too many people only go with horizontal shots.   Mountains and trees are both important!  You can find lines nearly anywhere – recognizing them allows you to use them to make your pictures better , instead of allowing them to cause problems.

Although great fine art nature photography may take practice , it’s incredible how a bit of care can take photos and improve them.   Check it out yourself !
