LIGHT IN THE MIND ®

 

OUR PROGRAM PRESENTERS are extraordinary professional photographers. Each has a unique approach to the challenging field of photography and each a very personal vision of what photography is.

 

In their collective work we are able to see through their eyes the small slices of life that no other soul can show us. The fact is that our presenters are more than consummate professional photographers; they are first and foremost artists. They share with their viewers their uniquely personal response to that quality of light that defines their work, whether viewed on a wall or carried home in the minds of those who look upon it.

"The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery."
Francis Bacon

"I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create."

“Your book is exquisite... ”

PRERELEASE RECIPIENT  

"Your book is exquisite -- the concept, your photos, your words, and your care in creating it. It is perfectly exquisite."

AREA 6   is a photographic exploration of the remains of the historic WW2 Kingsbury Ordnance Plant located deep in the rural heartland of America. The 11"x13" coffee table book is a bold departure for photographer Art Stump, whose career has been largely fashion and beauty work.

 

In this remarkable collection of images Mr. Stump chooses not to focus on the historical import of the structures themselves; rather he explores with a photographer's eye the bewitching character of light as it interacts endlessly with the space and color and texture of constructed elements throughout the site.

Edda Taylor photoEdda Taylor's French grandfather, an avid art collector, first introduced her to the Fine Arts at the tender age of five, and she fell in love with the French Impressionists especially Monet, Degas, and Renoir. It was after coming to the United States as a young woman that it became clear that photography would become the love of her life. She worked as a receptionist for a great photographer, John Giolas, who mentored and encouraged her to begin formal photographic education and inspired her to become a professional.

 

In pursuit of her dream, she studied at the Winona International School of Professional Photography, Forum du Maquillage in Paris, and Color Charisma Training Center in Atlanta, Georgia. With that training and her gifted eye for color, light, textures and shadows, she began turning out works of art – not with a paintbrush but with a camera.
