Description

Waverly Street Gallery presents The Magic of Light a photography exhibit by the North Bethesda Camera Club. 

​

The Magic of Light is the possibility of transformation. 

​

A photograph transformed is more than a simple depiction. 

​

In images well-seen and well-crafted, when illumination and shadow become structural and emotional elements, when the photograph hints and  asks questions, the viewer is encouraged to pause and to look deeply.

​

Photographs bold with color or contrast may capture quick attention, but such work often appears contrived, and interest is fleeting.  I find the most evocative images are reticent, suggestive, often ambiguous and don’t readily give away their secrets. These are the photographs I look for and hold in the highest regard.
