Capital City Arts Initiative announces exhibition of Photo Finished 2021 presented by Carson High Seniors
The Capital City Arts Initiative (CCAI) announces its exhibition, "Photo Finished 2021", at the Community Development Building (the Brick), 108 E Proctor Street, Carson City through March 25, 2021.
Thirteen seniors from Carson High School’s Advanced Photography program have work in the exhibit which is available online at ccainv.org.
Please note, the building is presently closed to the general public. An online exhibition tour is available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9YT6GH0YRI
The Carson High students include Geovanny Arroyo, Trevor Castillo, Mariah Dunham, Maizie Harris, Riley Kidd, Kedre Luschar, Dominic Martinez, Anthony Meyer, Madalyn Nolan, Justyce Quintana, Madison Rabideau, Josey Steinecke, and Katie Zarate.
The artists are all seniors in Kara Ferrin’s photography classes. For this exhibition, Ms. Ferrin asked students to create a cohesive body of images around a central theme or two of their own choice.
In today’s world of Photo Shop and technology, this work holds its own without exaggeration and manipulation and refers to the basic principles of art and techniques.
Dominic Martinez focused his attention on capturing light in unexpected places. Maizie Harris provides an angular view of Carson City long-closed Ormsby House and a strong composition of stormy Lake Tahoe. Madison Rabideau’s roller coaster sunset begs the question, “how did she do this?!” Trevor Castillo’s strong compositions include both nature and urban views. Mariah Dunham’s photo journal essay of imagined imperfections that reveal teenagers’ off-balance from others’ expectations.
Kedre Luschar uses a tight and clear focus on familiar objects making them new again. Geovanny Arroyo’s reveals his fondness for cars in his three images — marketing career ahead? Anthony Meyer gives a tranquil perspective via a Hawaiian beach scene. With just the right lighting, Katie Zarate depicts calmness in her lake pier photograph.
Josey Steinecke shares a creative architectural portrait of St. Mary’s in the Mountains in Virginia City. Madalyn Nolan selected landscapes as her subject for captured compositions. Riley Kidd’s series includes views of contemporary and historical buildings. Justyce Quintana contrasted vintage urban images with a contemporary city scene.
Sharon Rosse, CCAI Executive Director, said “CCAI is delighted to again present work by Ms. Ferrin’s accomplished students. Their professional level of work presents accomplished and diverse photographic achievements.”
This show is another in CCAI’s ongoing series of student exhibitions in the Brick.
