Christy Campbell presents Ruth Thorne Thomsen

Ruth Thorne Thomsen uses the pinhole camera to create these soft looking photographs. She overlays many images to create her pieces. They are mostly shot in the environment with people or objects included over. Thomsen uses miniature props that she makes to use for her photographs. In some of her works she gets ideas from 20th century surrealism. Her images are very captivating, making you think about a different world where these images could actually exist in real life.

Autorretrato

Lola Alvarez Bravo (1907–1993) was one of Mexico’s most important photographers.
She traveled throughout Mexico photographing people in everyday circumstances with honesty and respect. Her assured formal aesthetic, which often bordered on the abstract, included strong compositional elements, crisp details, and the play of light and shadow on surfaces.

Christy Campbell presents Rocky Shenck

“I love to go out wandering with my camera, sometimes with no specific agenda planned for myself,” Schenck said in an interview with author John Berendt. “I always stumble across something or someone that intrigues me – whether it’s a hypnotic landscape or a perfect stranger going about their day unaware of my eavesdropping on their reality. I simply take my camera with me wherever I go and try to remain open to whatever life shoves – or gently places – in front of me.”

Rocky Shenck said this about how he likes to create his photographs. These quotes describes his photographs so well. They are dark and mysterious, yet simple and beautiful. He also works with a lot musicians to film their music videos.

Christy Campbell presents Grete Stern

Grete Stern moved to Argentina after fleeing from the Nazis in her home country. In Argentina is where she made the majority of her work. She works a lot with advertisement collages and still lives but in a very different way than usual. Her work has a lot of overlaying imagery and playing with the "otherworldy" idea. Stern did a project where she would try to recreate peoples' dreams and photograph them.

Rebecca Villarreal presents Lisa M. Robinson

Lisa Robinson is a Landscape photographer and her specialty seems to be these barren photos of snow. Looking at her work for too long and you get this really lonely, "There's no one left on earth," feeling. She reminds me a little bit of Sara Frantz...yes the drawing and painting professor...her photos look a lot like Sara's drawings in that all you see are these man made objects in a sea of white. Its such a stark contrast to what most are use to seeing in landscape work. If you looked at it conceptually her work has this theme of scenery devoid of life and human contact. It works for many of the images. I won't lie and say some of the photos of this barren land she's taken are a little boring, but most of the work is really neat to look at. My favorites are Valhalla and Veil, the waves frozen in time like that its just crazy to believe nature sometimes just stops...with out the help of photography. The other thing that is really working for me in her work, are the bits of color that just pop against the white snow. If some of those pictures were taken in the spring time things like the park bench and the basketball hoop would be lost. Her work looks at the world in a slightly different way, in many ways its one of those things we never notice.
