Among the Vanities ~ photographs of the ViewPoint photographers
Exhibition dates: June 29th - August 2nd 2010
Opening Reception: July 1st, 6-9pm
At ViewPoint Gallery 1272 Barrington St, Halifax, NS
ViewPoint Gallery is celebrating its 10th anniversary year as a photography gallery and cooperative with a new show, Among the Vanities--Portraits of the Photographers. The exhibition features portraits of 23 of the photographers who are current members of the Gallery.
The object of any good portrait is to capture the character of the person being photographed. This sometimes hidden side of a portrait can make a picture go from ordinary to amazing. In this case, since the subjects are themselves photographers, each portrait seeks to incorporate the subject’s own style and aesthetic into the final image. The result is a unique collaboration between model and photographer.
The Photographers
Eric Hayes is a founding member of ViewPoint Gallery and co-owner of Bridgewater Photo & Art Supply Ltd. He photographed the British Rock scene in the 1960s including Jimmy Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. He moved to Nova Scotia in 1982 and won a National Magazine Gold Award for a photo essay in Maclean's.
