PhotoTapas — Celebrating Photography in Ryan Gallery

We were happy to be hosting another PhotoTapas event in Ryan Gallery this weekend, featuring a series of guest speakers in Ryan Gallery.

After some coffee and donuts bright and early Saturday morning, the day began with a lecture from Scott Baxter about his The Gather exhibition at Scottsdale Museum of the West, and the relationships he has formed with the ranchers featured in the show.

Kerrick James spoke with us about monochrome infrared photography using digital camera bodies that have been modified

Alan Fitzgerald gave a crash-course on how to prepare your digital images to make contact prints in the darkroom, and students were able to see examples of prints made using digital negative transparencies!

Gina Santi spoke about the cultural contexts and traditions to consider when traveling the world and photographing the people you meet!

Brent Bond shared examples of photographic books and portfolios using letterpress-printed colophons and covers.

Geoff Reed shared his journey self-publishing his photography.

We ended the day in the lab with Spanish tapas-inspired food and a wine tasting with Garage East’s Brian Ruffentine, where he spoke about the varietals of Arizona wines produced in our own backyard!

Over thirty members showed their work in this year’s No Strangers exhibition, and over one-hundred visitors joined us for the opening reception to see the art made by our member community.

Every year Art Intersection puts out a call for work to our Sponsor level and above members to have their work curated into the No Strangers exhibition. This year there are well over one-hundred pieces of art decorating the gallery walls!

Before the opening Timothy McCoy held a talk about his work currently in Ryan Gallery, Beyond My Lens. Timothy’s work has been seen in several past Light Sensitive exhibitions at Art Intersection, and Beyond My Lens features selections from his Tongues to Stone, Long Long Journey, Sanctuary, The Water Course Way, and Street Life bodies of work.

Exploring Photography for Teens — July 2022

After a couple years it was wonderful to host our Exploring Photography teen summer camp again!

Over four afternoons last week, instructor Lisa Zirbel taught our students the fundamentals of photography across both digital and traditional film mediums. Students learned how to shoot 35mm black and white film with manual SLR cameras and make enlargements from their film in our photo lab. They also had the opportunity to make studio-lit portraits, which they processed using Adobe Photoshop to make inkjet prints of their photos. They even mixed film and digital photography both by making cyanotypes using negatives printed digitally from their own images, as well as by using botanicals and expired photo paper to make lumen prints in the sun during class.

To end all of our teen camps, on the final day we pin the students’ work on the wall and invite their families for a critique session to reflect on what they learned and the challenges they faced while creating their art.
