APA Member Caren Alpert’s “terra cibus” Photo Exhibition at Camerawork Gallery in Portland OR, 6.16.12 to 7.20.12

PHOTOGRAPHER CAREN ALPERT EXHIBITS FINE ART WORKS:
“terra cibus”

…
SAN FRANCISCO – (May 1, 2012) Notable photographer Caren Alpert, based in San Francisco, will have a solo exhibit of her fine art series, terra cibus, at Camerawork Gallery in Portland, OR. The show will run from June 16 – July 20, 2012 and features 10 images that will encourage you to think differently about the food you eat. For the last two years, Caren has been examining the beauty and biology in our most basic form of sustenance.

…
terra cibus visually addresses America’s new-found obsession with delving deeper into their food. What’s on our plate three-to-five times a day becomes a poetic version of itself, combining food, art and science/technology. Using photographs taken with electron microscopes, Caren has found mystery and familiarity simultaneously. This medium deconstructs, abstracts, and reveals the ordinary in a riveting way.

…
About Caren Alpert
Caren Alpert is a San Francisco-based fine art and commercial photographer. She specializes in food, travel, and lifestyle topics, and teaches editorial photography at Academy of Art University. Born in New York, and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Caren earned a bachelor’s of fine arts in photography and graphic design from the University of Arizona.

…
Caren started her career as a photo editor in New York working with titles such as Health and Money Magazines. In addition, she’s worked as an editor and researcher for Vogue, George, and for Miramax Films.
…

Much of Caren’s commercial life centers around culinary topics. But, she is also a science geek at heart. As a result, she found a way to combine her three favorite topics: food, technology and art, by photographing food with an electron microscope.

Tom Penpark’s Celestial Landscapes

Last night APA member Tom Penpark spoke at the APA Apple Creative Speaker series. Tom shared his story as to how he gained his vision and style in capturing and constructing truly amazing celestial landscape photos.

Tom described how he stared off as an art director and using conceptual ideas to tell stories with photographs. Then becoming a photographer and experimenting with different styles and ideas, but it was his love of the vastness of the American West and the road trip that gave him his creative footing. Slowly he learned how to capture what he saw in front of him out there in the wide-open landscape. Soon the vast landscape wasn’t enough for him and he started pointing his camera up to the heavens. His Milky Way photographs are an accumulation of two and half years of work. The final images are both stunning and celestial.

I applaud Tom for sharing how he came about putting his celestial landscape photos together, and for explaining his HDR technique and compositing style. He was very generous and open with his information. Another fine example of the quality of photographer who is an APA member.
