The Alamo Women’s Club will be hosting a special photography presentation led by internationally acclaimed photographer Harold Davis during its regular on Tuesday.
Titled “Photography As Poetry” and sponsored by the Alamo Danville Art Society, at the presentation attendees will learn about Davis’ unique style and numerous artistic adventures in photography.
“Photography is narrative, and some photographs are prose while others are poetry. In this presentation, artist and photographer Harold Davis examines how we create imagery that conveys powerful emotion and meditative healing in the context of the rush of modern life, and along the way how his life as a photographer has connected with art and poetics,” Davis said in a statement.
An artist and bestselling author of many books, a Moab Master and a Zeiss Ambassador, Davis is possibly most acclaimed for developing a unique technique for photographing flowers for transparency.
Women’s Club officials added that Davis’s work builds on the masterworks of the past while embracing revolutionary innovations in photography.
“I believe that advances in the technology and craft of digital photography have created an entirely new medium. My years of contemplation opened my eyes and my heart, and taught me to see more deeply. I use this alchemy of wonder to combine the traditions of painting and photography with new technology,” Davis said.
When not traveling in search of photographic adventures, Davis can be found at home in his flower garden in Berkeley, with his wife Phyllis and their four children.
“Photography As Poetry” is free to attend and will be held at 7:30 pm during the club’s Tuesday Evening Meeting on March 10, at the Alamo Women’s Club, 1401 Danville Blvd., Alamo.
