Allan Teger says, "The modern artist is similar to the ancient shaman. We bridge the gap between the conscious and the unconscious, the sacred and the profane.
We make the invisible visible. We speak to the gods on behalf of the people. We speak to the people on behalf of the gods. In our current situation, we need to keep this connection - to see the world not in terms of our individual melodramas, but rather in terms of the larger questions that we are facing together.
Our world has been changed. We are asked to embrace that change and to thrive, as well as to survive. It begins by acknowledging the reality of the situation. It then leads to a commitment to thrive despite our predicament. When this period is finished, we need to feel that we have used the time well, and have something positive to show for it. The artist is the modern shaman. Our task is to point the way, to help focus our collective power, and to consecrate the time and our activities to give meaning and power to the journey.
These images are done with studio set-ups, not constructed in photoshop. They illustrate my reality of the pandemic – a mixture of frustration, acceptance, uncertainty, apprehension, and finally the serenity that comes from inner joy."

Amy Lowey says, "When Covid 19 emerged as a threat, my day to day existence was already limited to only a few activities outside the house, consisting of precious early morning walks through the forest with my camera and quick errands.
The area we live in was hit particularly hard early on. As my husband is high risk, our home had to be on total lockdown. In a four-month period, I only left the house twice.
Without the act of daily photographing the woods, I was at a loss.
For weeks after lockdown I stood in my backyard, which I had always dismissed. I stood looking straight towards the narrow band of trees separating my suburban lot of land from my neighbor’s. Then, one day I heard the birds, as if for the first time. I began to photograph them. This series of sky, bird and tree is one chapter in a long-term exploration about the loyalty of the heart and the absolute importance of nature in our lives."
Amy Lowey worked as a freelance photojournalist for 10 years for NJN. In 2015, she completed an MFA in photography from The University of Hartford’s limited-residency program. Her photographs of the woods contemplate difficulties like the loss of intimacy, the loss of freedom, and the subsequent search for hopefulness. The invisible story behind the images includes her husband’s dementia and subsequent deterioration.
Her photographs poetically and metaphorically intertwine light and darkness, revisiting the theme of nature as a vital part of our lives.
In 2017, Lowey’s work was juried into the competitive Review Santa Fe at CENTER, where her work was reviewed by Jonathan Blaustein and was featured on his blog, A Photo Editor, in his Best Work I Saw at Review Santa Fe, Part 2.
Her work has also been featured on the blogs of LA Photo Curator and Don’t Take Pictures.
She has exhibited at The Joseloff Gallery in West Hartford, CT, Five Myles Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, Baxter Street Gallery, NYC, NY, Institute Library, New Haven, CT, and The Center For Contemporary Printmaking, in Norwalk, CT.
Lowey’s ongoing project photographing the woods, Archive Of Longing, now spans six years. Physical, mental or emotional changes at home lead to shifting views of the forest.
The result is many distinct chapters within the opus. She is invested in the book form to help relay what the images impart, the central themes of light and darkness, time and decay.
Her most recent artist-books include Grounded, Pictures Of The Floating World, and Limbo. She is currently working on a limited-edition artist-book survey of the work.

MAGNOLIA by Anne Berry

Anne Berry says, "I made these pictures this summer on Cumberland Island.
I go often to this barrier island off the coast of Georgia and make photographs for my Land of the Yaupon Holly project. To be able to go with my family to this place of wildness and unbearable beauty is always a gift, but especially this summer. The air is pure and clean here; I will never take that blessing for granted.
I work to illustrate the mystery of nature, with the goal of creating empathy and compassion for the wild, especially in children, who are our hope for the future.
There are truly wild places on this earth that are blessings and deserve to be cherished. The undeveloped barrier islands off the coast of Georgia remain wilderness while bearing witness to some human presence since 2,000 BC.
Decaying and ruined mansions, feral horses, donkeys, and boars document memories of human activity. Now there are more animals than humans. In this place of extreme beauty one finds truth and mystery, and hope.
The land and its wildlife dominate the images; people are secondary and surround themselves with natural objects as a way to honor and respect nature, seeking closeness. The Land of the Yaupon Holly is my way to honor these places and ask for protection.
On the mainland, newspaper headlines tell of coal ash pollution, mining, offshore drilling, saltwater intrusion, and a spaceport. House Bill 906 seeks to allow the state of Georgia to sell Heritage Preserve land, meant to be protected from development. These photographs speak for this sacred land and it’s tidal marsh, which is one third of the US East Coast’s salt marsh. They ask the viewer to consider what we are doing to protect these places that have existed for centuries in this natural state, to respond with compassion, and to honor, protect, and fight for this and all the remaining true wilderness."
Anne Berry is an artist from Newnan, Georgia. Her photographs investigate the animal world, the domain of childhood, and the terrain of the Southern wilderness. She also explores themes and metaphors from literature.
In 2013 and 2014 Critical Mass included her work in their Top 50 Portfolios. Anne has had solo exhibitions at the Centre for Visual and Performing Arts in Newnan, GA, The Lamar Dodd Art Center in LAGrange, GA and The Rankin Arts Center in Columbus, GA. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including The Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock, England, SCAN Tarragona in Spain, The Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Arts in New Orleans. Books include Through Glass (North Light Press, 2014) and Primates (21st Editions, 2017). Anne’s work is featured in National Geographic Proof, Feature Shoot, Hufffington Post and Lens Culture, among others.
Her work is in many permanent collections, including the National Gallery of Art. Anne lives in Newnan, GA and is represented by the Catherine Couturier Gallery in Houston.

Beth Galton says of her series, 'Corona Maps', "I have been struggling like everyone with the magnitude of the Coronavirus.
How it has insidiously spread, wreaking havoc around the globe. In March, my world became the size of my apartment- never leaving it’s supposed safety. I knew I would not be able to access my studio in Brooklyn, so I brought my camera with a few props and stands home and constructed a small set next to a window.
I began my days looking at the NY Times online hoping to find in the news, a glimmer of something positive. What I found and become obsessed with were the maps, charts and headlines that they publish which track it’s spread.
I screengrab and printed them out to see how the disease had multiplied and moved. These little visual changes affect millions of people like me. It quickly became apparent that I had to use them in my photographs, helping me process this complicated time.
Each screen-grab I create captures the press’s determination to communicate information as to where the disease is developing and how many people are affected in a statistical and straight forward manor.
What I’m confronted with is that each change from chart to chart or map to map represents the human toll of this disease. These simple graphic changes have such intense ramifications; it is the loss of one's health, one's life - someone's friend, coworker or family member.
By photographing this data while utilizing my love of botanicals, my intent is that they no longer will be just cold numbers but speak to the humanity that is affected.
This is an ongoing project since we are so far from returning to our previous lives. Every day is filled with feelings and emotions, I continue to shoot and ponder how to process what is happening in the world."
Beth Galton is a photo-based artist, with an educational background in the natural sciences and 30 years of experience as a professional photographer in the editorial and commercial world.
Her personal practice brings these elements of her history together, using them to explore her world through the nature of time and organic forms.
Galton collects objects, items from her past and botanicals which she often manipulates and dries to constructs still lifes. In her photographs, these assemblages and portraits connect the viewer to the ecological cycles of the natural world, including their own aging and mortality.
Galton often uses natural light to capture these compositions by using a large format camera and digital back.
Galton’s artwork has been exhibited in shows throughout the U.S. and Europe and she was previously represented by Marlborough Gallery in NYC. Most recently her work was seen at Montpellier Contemporian, Montpellier France, Wave Hill, The Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado, the Center for Photographic Art in California, Beth Urdang Gallery in Boston and was part of ‘The Fence’, a traveling outdoor exhibition shown in seven cities across the country.
Galton has received many awards, most recently the Tokyo International Foto Awards, 12th Julia Margaret Camera awards, IPA Awards, Graphis, Communication Arts and the PDN Taste Awards. Galton lives and works in New York City.

Charlotte Schmid-Maybach says, "When the hiking trails opened up in Southern California in mid May 2020 after being closed because of Covid-19 for a month, I started going on hikes again and seeing the simple beauty of plant life bursting out everywhere. These images are a re-assembling of those photographs to make something new; sometimes faces and masks appear. Each image is a reassembling of one photograph, marking how nothing will be the same after this time of pandemic and social upheaval."
Charlotte Schmid-Maybach is a photographer and mixed media artist based in Los Angeles.
Originally from San Francisco, CA, she earned her BA from UC Berkeley and MA in photojournalism from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri.
Her background as an archaeological photographer in Pakistan and years as a newspaper photojournalist have informed her artwork. Charlotte works with artist Tom Wudl at his studio and has recently exhibited her work at the Neutra Institute Museum and Gallery and at The Colburn School of Music.

MY HEAD IS SPINNING by Daria Martinoni

(Click on image for larger view)
Daria Martinoni says, "And suddenly the world becomes small, very small.
As an urban photographer, the city is actually my romping ground. In Switzerland, where I live, we had "stay at home" order during 8 weeks this spring due to Covid-19.
My world became small overnight, my flat suddenly was my universe. So I decided to explore the seemingly familiar flat anew, with attention to the details of the interplay of light, space and surfaces. Feelings like insecurity, overstrain, longing, hope - all experienced alone in a small space. Every week I took a picture as an expression of my mood this week."
Daria Martinoni is a non-professional photographer working and living in Zurich, Switzerland. She received a Master in Geography and a PhD in Science from the University of Zurich. As a Geographer, she is interested in exploring our perception of space and reality. She experiments with long shutter speeds and several zoom settings or camera positions in one exposure. With this approach, she aimes at questioning our making of the world through experience and knowledge.
She has been awarded a Honorable Mention in both the 2018 and 2019 International Photography Awards (ipa, @photoawards, @iphotoawards), four Honorable Mentions in the 2019 ipa “OneShot: Street Photography” Awards (@photoawards, @iphotoawards), a Honorable Mention in the 2019 Budapest International Foto Awards (bifa, @budapestfotoawards, @ifotoawards), a Honorable Mention in the 2019 Tokyo International Foto Awards (tifa, @ifotoawards), and a Honorable Mention in the 2019 Annual Photography Awards (apa, @annualphotowards). She has been accepted to both the photoSCHWEIZ 19 and the photoZURICH 20 (www.photo-schweiz.ch), which is the largest photography exhibition in Switzerland (each year the retrospective provides a representative overview of the past year in Switzerland from a photographic perspective), and to the XIIth edition of the Florence Biennale (www.florencebiennale.org, @FLRbiennale, @florencebiennale).
Upcoming:
October 7 - October 16 2020, RESONANCE, group exhibition at Camden Image Gallery, London, UK.
October 20 - November 15 2020, Solo exhibition at MyMicroGallery, Milan, Italy (PHOTOFESTIVAL Milano 2020).

ADRIFT N 10 by Dawn Watson
(Click on image for larger view)
(Click on image for larger view)
Dawn Watson says, "My work is inspired by my deep connection to nature.
My former career as a dancer and choreographer has influenced my art-making, and fueled my interest in how we inhabit both our interior and exterior worlds.
As an environmentally conscious artist, I use photography and artist books to explore our changing environment. I am drawn to the process of both becoming and diminishing—not just in life's flourishing peak compositions, but in the inevitable process of decomposition. Each stage has intrinsic beauty as it transforms shape and content to reveal a different truth.
Project statement:
Adrift
Due to excessive human activity, weather intensifies and the world shape shifts from the familiar to the unrecognizable and uninhabitable. What is our relationship to loss, inequities, constant change? Where do we find shelter, sustenance and solace? These untethered landscapes visually translate my visceral response to how disconnected we feel as recent events have rocked our world. The crumpled, misshapen forms drift against fields of light and dark, unmoored, as we are, from any familiar world."
After twenty-five years as a professional dancer, Dawn Watson shifted her artistic practice to photography, finding affinity in the visual storytelling offered by both live performance and the captured image. Watson’s photographic renderings continue to explore form, space, light, movement and storytelling, as she did as a performer. Nature serves as her muse, her subject of concern, a source of solace and healing.
Watson's work has been featured online and in print, including in Lenscratch and The Hand magazine. She has exhibited her photographs and artist books throughout the United States and Europe including the Albrecht-Kemper Museum, A Smith Gallery, Center for Fine Art Photography, PhotoPlace Gallery, Ph21 Gallery, Valid Photo Gallery/Barcelona,Tilt Gallery, Tang Teaching Museum, and in solo exhibitions at The Griffin Museum of Photography at Greater Boston Stage Company, the Los Angeles Center for Photography and Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts. Her work is held in private collections and at The Lodge at Woodloch.

Dennis Geller says, "Have we ever been more alone than in these times of emerging from quarantine. Even whwen we are in public spaces, even when there is a public of sorts around us, our isolation is emphasized by social distancing and the masks that we wear to preserve the public health. And yet, we are united in a small way by the fact that others are equally alone."
In different lives a mathematician, an educator, and a software R&D manage, Dennis Geller is now a photographer in the Boston area, and also serves as a Teaching Assistant at the Griffin Museum.

FIRST PLACE & BEST SERIES

FIRST PLACE & BEST SERIES
(Click on image for larger view)
Curator Anne Kelly's review:
Eric says, "The first black and white portrait series I did was for my senior thesis which I photographed over the course of about eight months. I would take an 8x10" camera and white backdrop to a local soup kitchen and set up next to the entrance during lunch time. I'd start asking people if I could take their portrait, and the first few times I was set up no one would step in front of the camera. I would just keep coming back and I started to talk to people more, and they would start asking questions about my camera that they had never seen before and slowly I was able to get people to stand in front of the camera.
They would ask me what I wanted them to do, and at that time I really didn't have much experience taking portraits other than of people I already knew. I ended up telling them to pretend that their photo was going on the cover of Time magazine and pose how they would want the world to see them. I would let them figure it out, and when they told me they were ready I would take the photo.
That was the last time I took black and white portraits until the summer of 2019. At that time I wasn't in a great spot mentally, I was becoming more introverted than I was already, and I was isolating and just feeling really alone. So I decided to force myself to start taking portraits of coworkers, friends, and people I only knew from facebook. I just went through my friends list and if they lived in the Santa Fe area and wanted their portrait taken we'd set up a date and time.
I'd bring my camera and strobe over to their house, set up and photograph. There were some days I did 6-8 different portrait sessions, I did about 100 portrait sessions in a six month period.
So yes these two other series definitely helped me with the Essential Worker series, especially the latter. That portrait series more or less helped me get out of my shell, because I'm an extremely shy person. I love taking portraits, but I have a difficult time talking to random people.
I can't take full credit for the idea of the Essential Worker project, but because of the second portrait project I was approached by Center, based in Santa Fe, NM to see if I was interested in being commissioned to photograph this idea they had honoring frontline workers.
Without hesitation I said yes, and the project has evolved from there."
Anne asks, "You are an “essential worker” - do you view any of these images as self portraits? If so why or why not."
Eric says, "That's a good question that I have never thought about. Being an essential worker myself I feel more connected with the people I'm photographing no matter what their profession. Once I tell them I work at Trader Joe's I feel there is an unsaid bond between myself and the person I'm photographing.
We are both grateful to still have a job, but we both know what it's like to deal with customers that don't want to follow the mandates put in place. What it feels like to wish you could stay home and not worry on a daily basis you might get a virus that you don't know how it's going to affect you. So yes, now that I think about it, I do see a little myself in them, in the moment I'm taking the photograph."
Anne asks, "What limitations did you face when making this work?
Eric says, "Time is the biggest limitation. I'm a single dad with two kids at home doing remote learning, and I work full time. So the spare time I have to work on this project is very limited.
Because of my limited time to photograph, I find locally owned businesses easier to get permission to photograph in, corporate owned businesses are a little bit harder. Sometimes the store manager will give me the go ahead, but most of the time they tell me they'll have to call corporate to see what they say, I hand them my business card and never hear from them again. In the beginning I used to follow up to see if I could come photograph, one business in particular, corporate gave me permission but left it up to the store manager for the final say. The manager did say yes, but everytime I contacted her she would say she would get back to me about a date and time I could come photograph. She never got back to me, I got tired of following up so I moved on. Getting permission to photograph in Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center took a long time, it was about five months before they said it was okay for me to enter the hospital to photograph.
Recently I have decided to take a bunch of time off of work, (and when I don't have my kids) to work on this project for the next two months. I plan on going to as many small towns and villages to photograph essential workers and see how people in very rural areas in New Mexico are making it through this pandemic."
More about Eric Cousineau:
Cousineau says, "As COVID-19 restrictions pushed many of our daily routines into remote work from home, or worse into unemployment, some workers were deemed “essential.” Among them, healthcare professionals, grocery store and postal service workers, and many other essential personnel remained out in the world while the rest of us shelter in place. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, essential workers include those whose jobs are critical to maintaining the infrastructure of the country.
These essential people are still out in the world, putting themselves at risk of contracting the coronavirus for the sake of social stability. Strangely enough, the majority of those deemed essential are also representative of low-income positions that rarely offer health benefits despite the increased risks of working in public spaces in the age of COVID-19."
Eric Cousineau, a photographer, and essential worker employed by Trader Joe’s in Santa Fe, NM, found himself among the at-risk community of workers keeping our food supply functional. CENTER approached Cousineau in March about collaborating on a photo-project documenting and honoring the essential workforce he is part of. CENTER’s Curator of Public Engagement, Matthew Contos, provided project guidance and support, working towards creating a portrait exhibition in town.
Cousineau pressed on making images of his postman, mechanic, gas station clerks, teachers, friends, and anyone he encountered who agreed to pose for a portrait. Over the last several months Cousineau built a body of work and eventually gained access to the COVID-19 unit in Saint Vincent Hospital, in Santa Fe, NM.
Next up, Cousineau will be documenting the health workers. We are honored to share his collection of essential worker portraits to recognize those who are risking exposure to keep our groceries stocked, our internet running, our packages delivered, and our health clinics open.
To all the essential workers, we see you. Thank you for what you do. We need you and we are grateful.
Eric Cousineau is a commercial and contemporary photographer. He holds a degree in photography from Oakland Community College and received a BFA from the College of Santa Fe in 2003. Cousineau studied with documentary and art photographers David Scheinbaum, Steve Fitch, Nancy Sutor, and Tony O’Brien while earning his BFA. He was born in Iowa City, raised in Flushing Michigan, and currently resides in Santa Fe, NM.

"Many of us spent at least the first few months of the pandemic at home — perhaps only emerging to buy groceries. Meanwhile, others continued to leave the safety of their home daily to work in businesses that were deemed essential.
Eric Cousineau is a photographer and an essential worker. In this ongoing project, Eric is making atmospheric black & white portraits of other essential workers, from grocery stores to hospitals.
The photograph that I selected for 1st place is a portrait of Francisco, a meat department associate at a small local Latin American grocery store in Santa Fe, NM.

This ongoing project is a collaboration with Center" https://visitcenter.org/
Anne Kelly asks, "This is not your first series of black and white portraits. What did you learn when shooting past portrait based projects that may have helped inform "essential workers"?"
Eric says, "The first black and white portrait series I did was for my senior thesis which I photographed over the course of about eight months. I would take an 8x10" camera and white backdrop to a local soup kitchen and set up next to the entrance during lunch time. I'd start asking people if I could take their portrait, and the first few times I was set up no one would step in front of the camera. I would just keep coming back and I started to talk to people more, and they would start asking questions about my camera that they had never seen before and slowly I was able to get people to stand in front of the camera.
They would ask me what I wanted them to do, and at that time I really didn't have much experience taking portraits other than of people I already knew. I ended up telling them to pretend that their photo was going on the cover of Time magazine and pose how they would want the world to see them. I would let them figure it out, and when they told me they were ready I would take the photo.
That was the last time I took black and white portraits until the summer of 2019. At that time I wasn't in a great spot mentally, I was becoming more introverted than I was already, and I was isolating and just feeling really alone. So I decided to force myself to start taking portraits of coworkers, friends, and people I only knew from facebook. I just went through my friends list and if they lived in the Santa Fe area and wanted their portrait taken we'd set up a date and time.
I'd bring my camera and strobe over to their house, set up and photograph. There were some days I did 6-8 different portrait sessions, I did about 100 portrait sessions in a six month period.
So yes these two other series definitely helped me with the Essential Worker series, especially the latter. That portrait series more or less helped me get out of my shell, because I'm an extremely shy person. I love taking portraits, but I have a difficult time talking to random people.
I can't take full credit for the idea of the Essential Worker project, but because of the second portrait project I was approached by Center, based in Santa Fe, NM to see if I was interested in being commissioned to photograph this idea they had honoring frontline workers.
Without hesitation I said yes, and the project has evolved from there."
Anne asks, "You are an “essential worker” - do you view any of these images as self portraits? If so why or why not."
Eric says, "That's a good question that I have never thought about. Being an essential worker myself I feel more connected with the people I'm photographing no matter what their profession. Once I tell them I work at Trader Joe's I feel there is an unsaid bond between myself and the person I'm photographing.
We are both grateful to still have a job, but we both know what it's like to deal with customers that don't want to follow the mandates put in place. What it feels like to wish you could stay home and not worry on a daily basis you might get a virus that you don't know how it's going to affect you. So yes, now that I think about it, I do see a little myself in them, in the moment I'm taking the photograph."
Anne asks, "What limitations did you face when making this work?
Eric says, "Time is the biggest limitation. I'm a single dad with two kids at home doing remote learning, and I work full time. So the spare time I have to work on this project is very limited.
Because of my limited time to photograph, I find locally owned businesses easier to get permission to photograph in, corporate owned businesses are a little bit harder. Sometimes the store manager will give me the go ahead, but most of the time they tell me they'll have to call corporate to see what they say, I hand them my business card and never hear from them again. In the beginning I used to follow up to see if I could come photograph, one business in particular, corporate gave me permission but left it up to the store manager for the final say. The manager did say yes, but everytime I contacted her she would say she would get back to me about a date and time I could come photograph. She never got back to me, I got tired of following up so I moved on. Getting permission to photograph in Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center took a long time, it was about five months before they said it was okay for me to enter the hospital to photograph.
Recently I have decided to take a bunch of time off of work, (and when I don't have my kids) to work on this project for the next two months. I plan on going to as many small towns and villages to photograph essential workers and see how people in very rural areas in New Mexico are making it through this pandemic."
More about Eric Cousineau:
Cousineau says, "As COVID-19 restrictions pushed many of our daily routines into remote work from home, or worse into unemployment, some workers were deemed “essential.” Among them, healthcare professionals, grocery store and postal service workers, and many other essential personnel remained out in the world while the rest of us shelter in place. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, essential workers include those whose jobs are critical to maintaining the infrastructure of the country.
These essential people are still out in the world, putting themselves at risk of contracting the coronavirus for the sake of social stability. Strangely enough, the majority of those deemed essential are also representative of low-income positions that rarely offer health benefits despite the increased risks of working in public spaces in the age of COVID-19."
Eric Cousineau, a photographer, and essential worker employed by Trader Joe’s in Santa Fe, NM, found himself among the at-risk community of workers keeping our food supply functional. CENTER approached Cousineau in March about collaborating on a photo-project documenting and honoring the essential workforce he is part of. CENTER’s Curator of Public Engagement, Matthew Contos, provided project guidance and support, working towards creating a portrait exhibition in town.
Cousineau pressed on making images of his postman, mechanic, gas station clerks, teachers, friends, and anyone he encountered who agreed to pose for a portrait. Over the last several months Cousineau built a body of work and eventually gained access to the COVID-19 unit in Saint Vincent Hospital, in Santa Fe, NM.
Next up, Cousineau will be documenting the health workers. We are honored to share his collection of essential worker portraits to recognize those who are risking exposure to keep our groceries stocked, our internet running, our packages delivered, and our health clinics open.
To all the essential workers, we see you. Thank you for what you do. We need you and we are grateful.
Eric Cousineau is a commercial and contemporary photographer. He holds a degree in photography from Oakland Community College and received a BFA from the College of Santa Fe in 2003. Cousineau studied with documentary and art photographers David Scheinbaum, Steve Fitch, Nancy Sutor, and Tony O’Brien while earning his BFA. He was born in Iowa City, raised in Flushing Michigan, and currently resides in Santa Fe, NM.

HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Gabriella Fargnoli says, "Much of the work I have produced during 2020 is a reflection of the transformations I have undergone this year. Fully immersing myself in my photography after it having taken a backseat to my athletic career for much of my life, I found myself grappling with my sense of self and struggling to define who I am as only a photographer. These three photographs are part of a larger series entitled "It's Nice to Meet You" which explores my own feeling of meeting myself for the first time as an artist and how it feels to present yourself to others as an individual with a duality of seemingly polar interests and personalities.
After returning to my childhood home after leaving university due to the pandemic, I found this place of growth and development to be the right backdrop to not only my photographs but my own reflection as well."
Gabriella Fargnoli is a second-year photography student at the Pratt Institute. She grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts and uses both the suburbs and city as a way to contrast the daily life of both, as well as explore street photography and self portraiture. During her first year at Pratt, she became interested in the juxtaposition of the truth and falsehoods that can be captured and curated through the photographic process.

BURNING TREES-1 by Gabrielle Saveri

Gabrielle Saveri says, "The West Coast is on fire. This past week, I woke up to take my dog to a local dog park, but the sun never came up. Or so it seemed. I live in the wine country of northern California, and for the past few weeks, fires have been burning all over the state. On September 9, the sky glowed a fiery reddish orange, and it felt like the apocalypse had arrived.
My dog needed to be walked, so I drove him over to the regional park where we normally go. The place was deserted, but we did a giant mile and half loop despite the ominous alternate reality of red sky and smoke. I have been photographing the trees of the park since the pandemic begin, but this was an opportunity to show their beauty and energy in a different light. I am a journalist by background, but have found myself exhausted from the daily news and the notion of visual “storytelling.” With the pandemic, I have been feeling the need to just take photos that are “pretty.” I think our world is in need of beauty right now.
My current series is called “Burning Trees.” My intent is to highlight the magnifence of the natural world — and the great beauty of northern California’s native species trees — amidst the fires as our planet is being threatened by global climate change. My hope is use my art to create transformation by making beauty and light persevere in a time of global darkness.
I am a photographer, videographer, and writer based in Northern California’s wine country. I have worked in the United States and abroad for news and media organizations and publications including: Newsweek, People, In Style, Business Week, National Geographic’s Green Guide, Thomson Reuters News Agency, The Washington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, and Travel and Leisure. I have also written and produced television shows for networks and organizations including: The Travel Channel; Discovery; Lifetime Television; Nickelodeon; Fox Family Channel; UPN; and USAID (United States Agency for International Development).
I am passionate about the environment, nature, and wildlife, and my work explores my relationship with the natural world."

Gary Beeber says, "I am always drawn to subjects I find to be incongruous, and have often been told that I see things that other people don’t pay attention to. As I’m taking pictures I think a lot about the passage of time and how things evolve over the decades. What happened to the people who lived in these places and what were they experiencing? The images I capture speak to me in a variety of ways, fulfilling an insatiable curiosity about the world and everything in it.
During the pandemic I have gotten more pleasure than ever from finding interesting subjects (to me) and taking pictures. I’ve found it to be very comforting."
Gary Beeber is an award-winning American photographer/filmmaker who has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and Europe. His documentary films have screened at over 85 film festivals. Solo (photography) exhibitions include two at Generous Miracles Gallery (NYC), the Griffin Museum of Photography (Personalities), and upcoming exhibitions at PRAXIS Photo Arts Center, the Griffin Museum of Photography (Sylvester Manor series), and the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts.
Beeber’s work has also been included in juried exhibitions throughout the world. Among Fortune 500 companies who collect his work are Pfizer Pharmaceutical, Goldman Sachs and Chase Bank.
