“Krappy Kamera” Exhibition
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
The gallery present the 2016 International Krappy Kamera Competition winners, a group show of Soho Photo Gallery artist’s Krappy Kamera work and an exhibition of Jennifer Shaw’s illuminating images. The Krappy Kamera Competition originated at Soho Photo Gallery 18 years ago and is one of the gallery’s high points of the year.
Susan Burnstine, an award winning fine art and commercial photographer, was the competition’s juror, judging images captured with krappy kameras including Holgas, Dianas and homemade cameras.
“In today’s digitally driven world, manufactured perfection tends to be the norm. But in the world of ‘krappy’ plastic and pinhole cameras, the lack of technical control allows for unforeseen imperfections such as light leaks, vignettes and blurs that can transform what may have been an average image into something spectacular.”
Jennifer Shaw, a widely shown fine art photographer as well as a teacher and author, is exhibiting photographs inspired by her experiences in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Her images were shot with a modified Holga. “Hurricane Story is a depiction of our family’s evacuation experience-the birth, the travels and the return. The project began as a cathartic way to process some of the lingering anger and anxiety over that bittersweet journey. It grew into a narrative series of self-portraits in toys that illustrate my experiences and emotional state during our time in exile.”
