Advanced Photography Students Show Work
Photographs by students in the winter elective course Advanced Photography are on exhibit in the Upper Walker Gallery of the Walker Fine Arts Center through April 20, 2017. Charles Moorman ’17 and Avery Warmack ’19 each chose a famous photographer to study and then produced a body of work informed by the subject matter associated with the images of that photographer.
Charles's series was inspired by the composite photographs of Ray Metzger that feature patterns of high contrast light and dark. "My hope is that you all can play a game with each one of my prints," Charles says. "Ask yourself, 'What's the pattern here? What's the theme?'"
Avery studied the work of Richard Misrach, a photographer whose work shows the way nature overcomes man's attempts to change it. He took as his subject the bridge over the Rapidan River which connected Woodberry Forest with Orange, Virginia, between the early 1900s and its destruction in 1995 by flooding. "My photographs," says Avery, "are meant to capture the damage done to the bridge by the forces of nature."
