- Amy Gaskin, Documentary Photographer-

Announcing the Winners of the 2020 APA Awards
Editor’s note: Congratulations go out to Amy Gaskin on her being awarded First Place in the Documentary division of the 2020 American Photographic Artists—APA Awards.

"Hi Tony!...I'm finding COVID times surreal. Most freelancers in Press Photographers Assoc. are out of work. Staffs are shrinking and some papers have closed as ad revenues have dried up due to the pandemic. In Jan, I became President....so it has been a heck of a ride just trying to stay on the horse! Some of those with work have been badly beaten during the unrest, severely injured by rubber bullets, you name it. News vans have been vandalized, necessitating chopper coverage at times. And some have contracted the virus.”

NOW is the time to take action and present a fresh, new business “took”!

A new business portrait is a perfect way to make your prospects and clients stop an take notice. Some business people use the same portrait year after year. That approach is the main reason people breeze right by your image without even noticing you!

Do you know that prospective clients make their decision to call you or pass you by in the first few seconds they see you business portrait?

I’m going to create business portraits for you that will make your prospects stop their search and reach out to you!
PR - Social Media - Website - Annual Reports - Advertising - Headshots - Branding Portraits: I’m going to create the images you need to establish your lead position in your community!
I am going to make you look amazing! I GUARANTEE IT!
George W. DeLoach - Master Business Portrait Photographer

Your portraits will be created in a safe environment! I’ll be wearing a mask and our entire facility has been cleaned for your comfort and safety.
Allow me to create your AMAZING NEW business image!

- Michael e. Stern, Photographer, Media Provider- “This summer I came back to a long-dormant project, ‘Remnants.’ I last worked on this series in 2010 after my first self-published book of the work: Remnants.

After the book came out I moved on to other shiny objects in my career and stowed the remaining remnants away. I had no interest in devoting time to furthering the work. As 2020 crashed into the world I found myself catching up on long put off projects, those stowaways were finally going to get their turn on my scanner!
All of the images in this series share one characteristic, they were captured on a flatbed scanner, these images are magnificent in their detail, selective focus and magnification.”

- Mauren Brodbeck, Swiss multi-sensory artist-

Dear friends and collectors,
I have the great pleasure to invite you to the openings of my next solo show at Krisal Galerie in Carouge, Geneva, Switzerland

OPENING RECEPTIONS
September 3rd and 4th from 6pm to 9pm
September 5th from 12am to 5pm

EXHIBITION
September 3rd to October 7th, 2020

This work brings together a collection of multi-sensory pieces combining photography, video and sound, which delves deeper into parallel states of change and stasis, exploring the contrast between being creatures of nature while moving away from it, and our tendency to pay homage to the beauty of nature while destroying it. More than ever since the appearance of the Covid-19 virus, it is evident that humans and nature are closely linked, despite the way our decisions and actions deny this fact.

Photography offers the possibility of making visible what was previously invisible. In this series of images, I seek to uncover the hidden qualities of the photographs I work with. Where do the tensions of the imagination take us - what happens in the image?

To create the images, I print large format black and white or color photographs and scrape the surface with razor blades, removing pigments and leaving ink dust, cuts and holes in the paper, removing several distinct elements. The act of erasing is a repetitive and violent gesture that represents man's impact on nature, and is an aesthetic statement as well as a social statement. I then photograph the damaged images with a medium format camera, and use traditional and digital tools to add enhancements and colors and rearrange the image - creating a final piece from the deconstruction of the old one.

To comply with sanitary rules, opening receptions are over 3 days.
See you there!

Mauren
