FOCUS 22

March 2021: Mary Virginia Swanson.

 

For the past year, I've been following Mary Virginia Swanson’s inspiring and deeply moving  photographs of the Sonoran Desert surrounding her home, posted on Instagram @maryvirginiaswanson

 

For the few that don’t know, Mary Virginia Swanson is THE most sought after Photography Professional for artists career’s at all levels. Author, educator, and advisor, Ms. Swanson “has worked in the fine art, documentary, photojournalism and licensing arenas, with vast experience in multiple markets. She is a respected teacher and mentor who has guided countless photographers through the changes in nearly every aspect of the photography and imaging industries. She co-authored with Darius Himes, Publish Your Photography Book: Revised & Updated (Princeton Architectural Press) and continues to stay current on the growing market for photo books, reflecting both the relative ease of self-publishing and the rise of the collectible photo book market.” 

 

I'm honored to present a selection of Ms. Swanson's poetic landscapes, beautifully capturing the constant unfolding light and living atmosphere of the mysterious Sonoran Desert. Instagram @maryvirginiaswanson
