Michael Gibbons - Independent Photographer

Thu, May 7th 2020 at 8:05 pm - 9:05 pm

Michael Gibbons, an Independent Photographer, based in Greenville, South Carolina, will join us over Zoom to talk about his career
VoT: Peter McCrossan


Twenty-three members of the Rotary Club of Motherwell and Wishaw, and two guests, Michael Arthur, from the R/C of Carluke, and Kirsty Gibbons, from Australia, but currently living with her parents as a hostage to Covid-19, participated in last Thursday's "virtual" meeting over Zoom.

Our speaker was the nephew of Club members James and Katrina Gibbons, Michael Gibbons, who joined us from his home in Greenville, South Carolina, USA.

Michael is a professional photographer with an extensive portfolio of subjects ranging from, commercial assignments, lifestyle, and wildlife, just to mention a few. While outlining his career and hopes for the future, Michael treated the Members to around 50 of his photographs which clearly highlighted his many talents in his field and his obvious expertise. His fantastic photographs were greatly admired by all in attendance. 

There was a question and answer session following Michael’s talk and the Vote of Thanks was proposed by Peter McCrossan who summed up the members’ appreciation and enjoyment of his presentation.

The weekly bonus ball winner was Allan Scott.
