Before the lens
Kurt Edward Fishback at Archival Gallery
“Fort Bragg Cypress 9” by Kurt Edward Fishback, archival pigment print, 2009.
Although Kurt Edward Fishback got his middle name from family friend and influential American photographer Edward Weston, he's made a name for himself with his own photography. He proved he is a master of light, exposure and capturing his subjects with a friendly ease in his series of environmental portraits of artists in their work spaces. More recently, Fishback created a series of vivid, spiritual and psychedelic mandalas, which are teeming with elements of nature, including rocks, feathers and clouds. This month, though, he's showing a more traditional interpretation of nature with black-and-white landscape photographs. In these portraits of trees and beaches, Fishback also captures his subjects with the same kind of elegant ease as many of those artists who once stood before his lens.
