Photography Show 'Looks East'

 

Photography Show 'Looks East'

The Open Shutter Gallery, 735 Main Ave, Durango will present an exhibit of elegant color and black and white photographs of Rajasthan, India by world re-known photographer Steve McCurry and his "Group of Seven". All bring their own unique style and perspective. These photographers are Heidi Lender and Olivier Borson, who have exhibited previously at the Open Shutter, Julie Billings, Jon Kaplan and Rodrigo Frota.

Steve McCurry is credited as having taken the 'worlds most recognizable photo' of a young Afghan girl refugee in 1985, and then 17 years later defying odds and finding her again in remote Afghanistan. McCurry's images span the globe, documenting varying ethnicities and significant cultural icons.

Two local photographers, Brandon Donahue, manager of the Open Shutter Gallery and Suzi McGregor joined McCurry on a photographic expedition in Rajasthan and will be exhibiting their work. Margy Dudley, the owner of Open Shutter Gallery, has traveled extensively in Asia photographing many different cultures. Dudley's color images will also be included in the exhibit.
