Alum Kelia Anne MacCluskey photographs for Time Magazine (again!)


Every year, TIME publishes the TIME100 Next, a list—inspired by their flagship TIME100—that recognizes 100 rising stars from across industries and around the world.

Time chose actress Sydney Sweeney for the list. And they chose SCAD Photography BFA (2014) to photograph her and the cover.

Congratulations once again to Kelia Anne... a great photographer, a humble mentor and a good person!

Atlanta Artists Talk with SCAD Alumni Mentors Cecilia Montalvo & Charles McCullers

 
Please join us for an Artists Talk
with SCAD Alumni Mentors
Cecilia Montalvo & Charles McCullers



Wednesday October 5th 2022
5:00pm
515 C  SCAD Photo Studio
1600 Peachtree St.
 

Charlie McCullers and Cecilia Montalvo are a collaborative team working in the wet plate collodion process.  They began developing their work and this process together in 2017.  This collaboration is about the condition of permanent change, as evinced by the dynamic nature of South Florida’s barrier islands, Ebenezer Creek, Georgia, and the other places where they work.  It’s built on shared thematic and process interests.  In their own ways, Charlie and Cecilia each work on the meaning of divided origins, and how mythologies of belonging operate.  They are based in Atlanta, Georgia, and both hold MFA degrees in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Charlie is a native Georgian and life-long working photographer.  He graduated from the University of Georgia with a BFA, and the Savannah College of Art and Design with an MA, prior to completing his MFA.  Cecilia was born and raised in Miami.  After graduating from the University of Virginia, she worked at The Phillips Collection, Smithsonian Magazine, and for Harvard University at Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington, DC.

 
 

Horst P. Horst exhibition: 'Essence of the Times'


 SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film

1600 Peachtree St. NW

Atlanta, GA

Horst P. Horst is one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Known primarily for his fashion photography and portraiture, Horst assimilated tenets of surrealism and classicism into his unique compositions, creating striking, unforgettable images like the iconic Mainbocher Corset (1939). With his first Vogue cover in 1935, Horst redefined the possibilities of fashion photography, inspiring a shift from hand-drawn illustrations to the full embrace of film by elite fashion magazines. Essence of the Times features 80 prints that chart the breadth of Horst’s career from his early dreamy, surrealist still lifes for Vogue to his suggestive palladium prints from the 1980s. His skill is also displayed in a series of portraits of fashionable figures from Marlene Dietrich and Diana Vreeland to Elsa Schiaparelli and Patrick Kelly.

 

About the artist
Born Paul Albert Bohrmann, Horst P. Horst (b. 1906, Weissenfels, Germany; d. 1999, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) originally studied furniture making and carpentry at the Hamburg School of the Applied Arts. After learning about the Bauhaus movement, Horst sought an apprenticeship with the renowned architect Le Corbusier and moved to Paris. There, he met photographer George Hoyningen-Huene and soon became his muse, lover, assistant, and eventual colleague as a fellow photographer at Vogue. When Hoyningen-Huene left Vogue in 1935, Horst took over the role of photographer-in-chief. In 1939, anticipating World War II and the Nazi occupation, Horst left Paris for New York, where he officially changed his name, as the surname Bohrmann was shared by a top Nazi official and Horst, as a German citizen and a gay man, wanted to erase any perceived connection to Hitler’s oppressive regime. In New York, Horst continued to work at Vogue steadily through the early 1950s and again in the 1960s during editor Diana Vreeland’s tenure. In the 1970s he continued to work for Condé Nast at publications such as House & Garden. In 1989, Horst received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and, in 1996, he received the Master of Photography Award from the International Center for Photography. Horst produced photographs until 1992 when his poor eyesight forced him to retire. His work has been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions, including retrospectives at the National Portrait Gallery and the V&A in London and the International Center of Photography in New York.

Essence of the Times is curated by Rafael Gomes, director of fashion exhibitions at SCAD FASH, in collaboration with Gert Elfering of the Horst P. Horst Estate and Juan Carlos Arcila-Duque from The Art Design Project Gallery.

The exhibition is presented on the occasion of Atlanta Celebrates Photography.

Opening this Saturday, September 24th 6 to 9 pm

Local photographer Whitney Collins @whitneycollinsphotography will be hosting her show titled “For the Love of Dance” at Cedar House Gallery on the whole ground floor!

Opening reception date and times: Saturday, 6-9pm

Exhibition dates and hours: Saturday:6-9pm and Sunday 1-3pm

For the Love of Dance is a photography exhibit featuring 65 dancers, ages 6-24, from all over the country. This project began as a simple desire to celebrate dance, as well as printed art. In a digital era, we forget how amazing printed art can be. There is something magical about seeing a large print of yourself, of becoming a work of art, about seeing these portraits as they were intended to be seen.

Praxis Gallery: black and white & monochromatic photography

 

 
Half a century after the advent of color film, black and white & monochromatic photography continues to capture our collective imagination. Utilizing tone, contrast, texture and shape, monochromatic photography strips its subject to only the most essential visual elements; revealing a sense of soul, substance and meaning – separate from the shifting sentiments, symbolism and cultural associations of color imagery.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that demonstrate the fundamental qualities that make black and white & monochromatic photography an enduring, contemporary art form. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

learn more and submit... 

Open call... free submissions!

 



 



We connect with people, places or even situations. Sometimes, and for a variety of reasons this connection loosens and other times it is lost. What does “reconnection” mean to you? For example, what’s the relationship and connection that a photographer can have with their subject, the act of photographing or with photography itself? How or in what ways can we reconnect with other people, places, landscapes or situations?

You can approach the topic of reconnection in both its narrow and broad sense. We are open to all approaches and ideas.

Submission is free!

Image as Object — The Tangible in the Intangible

 



Image as Object — The Tangible in the Intangible

Ohio University School of Art

Athens, OH

Through the means of photography and visual media, we commemorate — a moment, a place, a person, a thought, a feeling, a concept. We work to recuperate and reimagine memories, dreams and facades. How do photographs and their ‘object-ness’ suppose to memorialize that which is otherwise always in flux? What are we trying to hold onto, if anything, in our images?

Alternatives seeks submissions of poignant works that explore the artist’s interpretation of ‘image as object’, the physical manifestation of that which can’t otherwise be pinned down — the tangible in the intangible. Artists working broadly within the spectrum of image-based media, including conventional and non-traditional photographic processes, moving images and installations are welcome. To apply, please visit the Slideroom link attached below. Image as Object – The Tangible in the Intangible (2023) will be a presentation of Alternatives, a juried biennial exhibition sponsored by the MFA Photography + Integrated Media cohort at Ohio University’s School of Art + Design. Since its inception in 1980, Alternatives has achieved national recognition for its leadership in forging new definitions in the medium by emphasizing the work of photographers in the conceptual forefront of the practice.
