Photography show opens in the Daughtry Gallery

Home News Photography show opens in the Daughtry Gallery

Showing a mixture of fine art, commercial, and journalistic photography, “Perspectives on Photography” opened last Saturday in the Daughtrey Gallery with a presentation and reception the following day. This show is the first exhibit in the Hillsdale College Art department’s Professional Artists Series this spring.

The exhibit, running until Friday, Feb. 14, features four photographers: Casey Fatchett `97, Roxanne Fogel Kaufman, Lon Horwedel and Mark James.

“I wanted to host a photography exhibit of this sort for some time. I was interested in featuring the images of multiple photographers specializing in the various niches of photography, both fine art and commercial,”  Photographer and Lecturer of Art Doug Coon said. “My hope is that students can examine the prints and note the commonality of producing quality images in terms of technique and aesthetics irrespective of utilitarian considerations.”

James presented Sunday on the art and science of pinhole photography and his attempt to bring reverence back to photography.

“I want to restore sensitivities,” James said. “Beauty has the power to arrest.”
