Boston Comminity Highlight -

“Boston has quickly become one of my favorite cities to take photos in. Having been born and raised here, carrying my camera with me has given me a fresh and exciting perspective of our well-known historic sites, wonderfully vibrant and energetic neighborhoods and the hard-working and beautiful communities that inhabit them. This photo [image 1] was taken in Jamaica Plain near one of my favorite local used film-camera shops and film developers, CatLABS.” -

Violet as Ophelia, Sean Black

Opening May 19th, selections from Sean Black’s “Secretly Pretty” will be on view throughout Pride Month.

“When I was young and innocent, I dreamt of being a girl. I played with dolls and danced in my mother’s dresses. The body I was born with wasn’t mine; it belied my very being. I realized early on that in order to survive I had to orchestrate my own charade” -Sean Black

Coming 🔜 “The Duality of Distance” by Stephen Vanasco

Open April 1 - May 15
Reception April 27th

“Your visual fingerprint is embedded into everything you photograph. While some subjects may be different, they still share a similar point of origin with how they were made. ‘Duality of Distance’ demonstrates this concept by taking two different bodies of work I have made at various times and being able to recognize duality within the work” -Stephen Vanasco

Join us Saturday, December 10th for our Photo Fundamentals Workshop. Designed for novice & beginner students venturing into the world of photography, you will be introduced to the basic technical elements of photography to get the most out of your camera.

The fundamental topics and discussions taught will help you understand photography concepts & terminology in the photographic arts. This will prepare you for advanced topics and master level workshops later down the road as you progress as a photographer.

TOPICS
* Understanding Exposure
* Basic composition
* Aperture
* Shutter Speed
* ISO
* Autofocus & Manual Focus
* White Balance
* Lens and Focal Length Discussion
* RAW and JPG file formats

This introductory class for beginners will help you move away from your camera’s automatic modes, allowing you to harness the full potential of your gear and to further express your artistic vision. Students will learn the basics for proper exposure, focusing, and depth control, while also diving into composition techniques and tips for consistent image quality.

Through an increased understanding of your camera’s functions and options, our goal is to move you from “point-and-shoot” photography to truly “making” images in-camera and eventually onto your wall or photo album.

The link to register for this event will be in our bio!
