Creating unique effects with light and shadows captured by a camera is, according to many, one of the most intriguing means of photographic expression. Photographers have relied on the possibilities offered by the creative use of light and shadows throughout the history of photography. In some cases, light and shadows are used to create a formal compositional element; in others, their role is to guide our gaze or focus our attention on specific parts of the image. Some images that rely on the interplay between light and shadow are dark-toned, while others present brightly lit scenes. The ways in which light and shadows contribute to photographic meaning depend solely on the imagination of the photographer. Zsolt Batori

This PH21 Gallery exhibition will be presented in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in collaboration with Valid World Hall Gallery, a renowned centre for the visual arts.

I am delighted to be part of it. To see the whole exhibition go here.

June 17 til August 12,  2023 is the exhibition both at the gallery (Arc Gallery, San Francisco) and on the web.

Everyone will be talking about their work in the exhibition. I will be discussing my portrait of Hiroko Hagiwara from my Women of Japan project. The project was done over 6 years in collaboration with Japanese feminists. Please click on images for best  quality.

Women of Japan is Edison’s work. It is she who took photographs and selected one or two shots to print and exhibit. But it is the models each decided to pose for the photographer. They too created Women of Japan by speaking their own words about photographs they are in. The photographer and the models are not simply creator and objects. But both are, though in different ways, participants in the creation of the work. This explains the unique glow emitted from Laurie Toby Edison’s Women of Japan.
