Free Fine Art Photography Seminar
Dealing with the Dark Side: Digital Issues in Fine Art Photography Today
Thursday, March 27, 5-7pm
Well-known Tucson photographer William Lesch, recently featured in Black and White magazine, will give a free seminar dealing with digital issues in fine art photography.
His concurrent exhibition, Body of Water, Body of Land, consists of monumental scale aerial views where the land below becomes a dense, abstracted and painterly field of sensual colors. Often using a view camera or Polaroid 55 film and influenced by the historic works of Frederick Sommer, Lesch's photographs have focused on related subjects including horizon-less desert landscapes, detailed images of desert animals and plants merging into the earth in deterioration and death, long-exposure 'light paintings' of desert plants at night surreally colored with the use of multiple filters and whitened cactus skeletons lying upon the black lava gravel of the remote and arid desert terrain of Pinacate in Northern Mexico.
William Lesch studied photography at the University of Arizona, is represented by the Etherton Gallery in Tucson, the Larsen Gallery in Scottsdale and has his own photographic studio. See www.williamlesch.com, www.ethertongallery.com, www.larsengallery.com.
