Show & Tell: Photographers Salon #2

Posted by doteditions on April 21, 2010

Last night’s second Show & Tell was a big success, thanks to our very special guest speakers, three of PDN’s 30: Adrian Mueller, Elizabeth Weinberg, and Gabriele Stabile.

Adrian Mueller started out the evening, discussing how he started out as a building contractor, and how that led to a career as a still life and travel photographer.

Elizabeth Weinberg went next, talking about how a working for a musician manager in college allowed access for her to photograph various musicians, which led to her career as an editorial photographer.

Gabriele Stabile closed the night with his moving photojournalism projects, which include photographing refugees’ first nights in America at motels, documentation of the violence and prisons in the Gaza Strip, and photography from behind the scenes at restaurant Momofuko for Gourmet Magazine.

Thanks again to our three guest speakers for sharing their work and experiences, as well as to everyone who came out to the studio. It was definitely our most fun and well-attended event yet! We’re planning the next one for mid-May, so stay tuned! Here are some more photos from last night. Thank you to Joanne Chan for taking them!

He co-founded the photography studio collective, Fabrik Studios, in Manhattan ten years ago, where he shoots for a variety of advertising clients such as BBDO, AOL, Chase, Macy’s, Martha Stewart Living, and many more.

Gabriele Stabile uses his intimate, dark images to tell stories for editorial clients such as The FADER and Gourmet Magazine. His long-term personal project, “Refugee Motels” documents many refugees’ first night in the United States. As they arrive in the United States, he photographs these individuals’ first moments in a new country, documenting their feelings of anxiety, excitement, homesickness and loneliness.

Elizabeth Weinberg got her start in college working for a music management company, which granted her access to a variety of bands. Since then, her portraits of musicians have led to editorial and advertising assignments that have taken her all over the country. Her sense of adventure as well as her ease with her subjects is evident in her portraiture.

Reed Young uses strobe lighting in environments to achieve an other-worldly lighting style in his documentary portraiture. His photographs come from a sincere interest in the human perspective, and his assignments have taken him around the world.

Photographers, artists, and the pubic are invited to attend an evening of sharing artwork and experiences when these four photographers present their work.

This event will take place April 20, 2010, 6-9pm at the Dot Editions studio in the Gowanus/Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn (located near the F, G, M, or R trains at the 4th Ave/9th Street stop).
