Kansas Impressions is a new book of Kansas photography by Michael Snell and Steve Mulligan. It's published by Farcountry Press and is available at Amazon.com or your local bookstore.


Michael Snell was given his first camera at age 7 and he had his first image published by age 11. Still, photography remained largely a hobby during his 14 years as an art director for, among other things, a state travel and tourism account. Constantly seeking out the perfect image for an ad or travel guide, Michael began to realize that his design background and understanding of an art director’s needs were a huge asset to him as a photographer. He began to develop his own stock photography library—one which now consists of over 50,000 images from the United States and several foreign countries.
Michael invites assignment work and, because of his background as an art director, is very comfortable shooting to a layout with or without on-site art direction.

Sally Snell shoots in black and white - primarily infrared. Visit her gallery to see images from her IR-modified Nikon 990 digital camera.
