Torkil Gudnason: Extravagant, Sculptural, Sensuous

November 6, 2015 Linda Hardwick

Beauty is a calling as well as a never-ending source of inspiration and exploration for photographer Torkil Gudnason.  Knowing this helps to understand why natural elements are so often integral to his images – there is a reverence for the way nature constantly evolves and changes. “Not one moment is the same,” he says – just as each moment with a model reveals endless permutations, with shapes that are both ancient and timeless, as well as contemporary and fascinating.

Kyle Thompson: Stories Outside of Time

October 2, 2015 Linda Hardwick
1-KT_1500.jpg

Kyle Thompson’s imagery brims with suggested narratives – they are suspended in time, ephemeral moments in a nonexistent storyline, frozen timelessly within his photographs. Each unchanging tableau suggests possibilities that prickle the imagination - - but without a beginning or end to each story, they exist, unchanging, outside of time.

Nicholas Maggio: The Spark of Life

January 17, 2014 Linda Hardwick

Nicholas Maggio has that ever-elusive quality that can be difficult to find in a commercial photographer - - he finds a way to depict in his images what he personally finds interesting about a situation - whether it's a model with an unusual feature (or two)  - or a weathered texture in the background, or an odd prop that managed to effortlessly find it's way "just so" in frame.

Jimmy Nelson writes, "In 2009, I planned to become a guest of 31 secluded and visually unique tribes. I wanted to witness their time-honoured traditions, join in their rituals and discover how the rest of the world is threatening to change their way of life forever. Most importantly, I wanted to create an ambitious aesthetic photographic document that would stand the test of time. A body of work that would be an irreplaceable ethnographic record of a fast disappearing world."

Mark Laita: Created Equal

          Baptist Churchgoer / White Supremacist

In America, the chasm between rich and poor is growing, the clash between conservatives and liberals is strengthening, and even good and evil seem more polarized than ever before. At the heart of this collection of portraits is my desire to remind us that we were all equal, until our environment, circumstances or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become.
