Amy Stein and Stacy Arezou Mehrfar | Tall Poppy Syndrome

"In 2010, American photographers Amy Stein and Stacy Arezou Mehrfar embarked on a month-long road trip throughout New South Wales—Australia’s most populous state. They were interested in investigating “Tall Poppy Syndrome.” Is the syndrome even real? Can it be documented or observed? Stein and Mehrfar set out to explore quintessential Australian life and find what evidence they could of the existence of this phenomenon."– From the photo editors at Time Magazine

“‘SlowExposures 2011’ welcomed the public, photographers and collectors from across the United States to discover emerging talent, take part in cutting-edge seminars with world-renowned experts and visit with old friends and colleagues.”– Co-Director Chris Curry

The ninth annual SlowExposures Photography Festival, located in Pike County, Georgia, wrapped last week. The SlowExposures 2011 Exhibition was juried by curator Elisabeth Biondi, formerly of The New Yorker, and photographer Peter Essick, National Geographic Magazine. Out of 700 entries, the juror’s selected seventy photographs for the exhibition, with three winners and fifteen honorable mention recipients.

The First Place Award went to Vicki Hunt from Roswell, Georgia, for her photograph “Seeker”; Second Place was awarded to Magdalena Solé from New York City, for “Young Ladies” and Third Place went to Eliot Dudik from Savannah, Georgia, for his photograph “Anthony, North Edisto River.”

Discussing their selection process during a Jurors Talk, Ms. Biondi, who served as Visuals Director at the New Yorker Magazine since 1996, said, “I prefer images that don’t have all the answers; images that pose a question, make me think about it and make me take a closer look.” Ms. Biondi curated the current exhibition, Beyond Words: Photography in The New Yorker, at the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York.

Peter Essick, recently named one of the 40 most influential nature photographers in the world, also likes images where “there’s some ambiguity in how it feels.” About Magdalena Sole’s photograph, he said, “These are the type of photographs that photographers look up to. A professor said, ‘Do nothing and something wonderful will happen.’ It’s this idea of being a fly on the wall. It takes time. You have to get to know the people, you have to earn their trust for them to just let you be there. That’s one aspect of what makes this a good picture. It takes skill and experience to learn to capture that.” Mr. Essick’s work can be seen in the upcoming National Geographic, Oct. 2011: A Portfolio by Peter Essick pays tribute to Ansel Adams.

Other SlowExposures Photo Festival Events:

Satellite Exhibition: “Southern Memories Part Two,” is an exceptional show curated by private collector, John A. Bennette. “I wanted it to have the quality of a New York show, but not the attitude of a New York show,” Bennette explained about this second part of his trilogy shown at the historic 1870 Whiskey Bonding Barn. He said the show, a selection of portraits taken in the region by local and national artists, is autobiographical, “Portraits are revealing. The photograph of the little boy sticking his tongue out is actually me. I’m still a kid who hides behind being cool and classical – in reality I’m the devil.” (check out: hanging with mrbennette)

2011 SlowExposures Portfolio Review: Reviewers included Alex Novak, collector and photographer with 35 years of experience, Anna Walker-Skillman, an owner, director and curator of the Jackson Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta, Kevin Miller, director of the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, Florida, Jerry Atnip, professional photographer and designer, and Brenda Massie, Director of Hagedorn Foundation Gallery in Atlanta.

Photographer Sylvia Plachy, gave a moving slide presentation, “Dancing With Ghosts,” and discussed her work and life starting in Hungary, in a Sunday afternoon salon. Ms. Plachy, often called “a photographer’s photographer,” has been photographing since 1965. From 1974-2004 she was a staff photographer and picture editor for the Village Voice. More recently she was a staff photographer and now a contributing photographer at the New Yorker Magazine, and has published six photography books. This evocative showing was followed by a book signing.

An informative Collector’s Seminar and Discussion by photography dealer, Alex Novak, of Vintage Works in Philadelphia. I gave a “Self-Publishing Your Photography Book Workshop” to help photographers fearlessly create a first photo book. Both events took place in the historic Zebulon Train Depot. Another satellite photography exhibition, “David Simonton: Selections from “The Ellis Island Portfolio,” was held at A Novel Experience in Zebulon, Georgia. Everyone celebrated the complexity, beauty and contradictions of the rural South.

Self-Publishing Your Photography Book with Elizabeth Avedon
The basic principles of designing your own Photography Book

+ + +

Now that artists are able to produce their own hardcover and softcover books online at a relatively low cost, self-publishing has become a popular alternative for photographers. My workshop, "Self-Publishing Your Photography Book," will cover the basic principles of designing your own photography book including; design decisions, sequencing, typography (Serif vs Sans Serif) and the cover. We'll explore what comprises good design from bad, creating a framework for the participant to build upon with their own book project, and briefly discuss the self-publishing companies available. We'll work together and as a group to evolve each of the individual projects. (The workshop will not cover technical questions - pdf-to-book workflow - or software questions). Contact SlowExposures

"...every year since 2003, tiny Concord, Georgia, population 336, becomes a photography mecca. “SlowExposures” lures photographers, curators, and editors to look at pictures from the South, to discuss and debate them, and to exchange experiences...Southern conviviality and hospitality create an ambiance that is most of all creative and communicative." –Elisabeth Biondi, New Yorker Magazine (read more)
