Meet John Street - Thursday 16 February 6pm - 9pm
Free Entry
The Studio Space: 474 Hampton Street, Hampton
John Street: slow photography
John Street uses an ultra-large format camera to compose unique, one-off photographs. “I use light as my paintbrush and this special, photosensitive paper as my palette, seeking to capture eternal beauty as expressed by changing Nature. The use of very long exposures and multiple lighting techniques, results in a painterly quality reflecting the ever-changing cycle of Nature. These are meditative pieces that have evolved in a conversation between the flower, the light, and the camera.”
