ASMP CT Chapter Jay Maisel event

Join us for an evening with Jay Maisel, a world-class photographer whose name has become synonymous with light, gesture, and color.
“Light, gesture, and color form the basis of all my images. This, coupled with an awareness of figure-ground relationship or photographic optical illusions, constitute half of the presentation,” says Maisel. “I will show you why and how images challenge perception. You do not always see what you think you see.”
Since his professional career started in 1954, Jay Maisel’s images have been used for advertising, editorial and corporate communications worldwide. He is widely exhibited and has numerous prints in private, corporate and museum collections. His books include Light in America, On Assignment (Photographers at Work), Jay Maisel’s New York, and his latest, A Tribute.
Jay has taught workshops since 1966 in Maine, NYC, Houston, Truckee, Aspen, Jamaica, Santa Fe, Italy and British Columbia, and he has lectured all over the USA, Australia and New Zealand. In fact, he will host six five-day workshops at his lower Manhattan studio alone this year.
His awards include the ASMP Life Time Achievement award, ASMP Photographer of the Year, International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award, and the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame.
Jay is a native of Brooklyn, New York. He earned his B.F.A. at Yale University and is a 1952 graduate of The Cooper Union where he majored in painting. At the beginning of his career, he worked with Swiss painter and photographer Herbert Matter, known best for his pioneering work in creating photomontages, and Alexi Brodovitch, who pioneered the role of the magazine art director in America at Harper’s Bazaar.

ASMPNY presents Greg Miller at School of Visual Arts
 
 
WHO:
Greg Miller is the recipient of a 2008 John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Photography.  His most recent series of photographs, entitled Distant Relatives (photographs of his hometown, Nashville, TN)has shown in Los Angeles, is currently on exhibit at the Cheekwood Museum in Nashville and is scheduled to exhibit at +Kris Graves Projects in Brooklyn, NY in March 2010.  Miller was born in Nashville in 1967. He received a full scholarship to attend the School of Visual Arts in NY, and graduated with a BFA in 1990.  Since 2001, he has taught at the International Center of Photography in NY.  His work is widely exhibited and collected.  

In Distant Relatives, Miller returns to neighborhoods and residences in Nashville where he grew up as starting points for his photographs.  In these locations he chooses to photograph people and places that loosely conjure the familiar character of his own past.   While obliged by a large format camera to interact with his subjects, Miller still retains the spontaneity of the photographic moment.  What emerges are well-detailed stories set in evokative landscapes with a trace of distant memory.

WHEN:
Thursday, December 10, 2009, 
Doors: 6:30 pm
Lecture: 7 PM - 9 PM
Artist reception to follow at 10 PM, Cash Bar; Light food will be provided.
