Sandy Lloyd

I do not make portraits, do street photography, or photojournalism. I am struck by the early pictorialist images, printed in alternative methods. I am a modern pictorialist. I make images that are taken intuitively, often not seeing them until the negatives are ready for printing. The printed images are chosen not as a recording of a place or an object but because they speak to my heart. My chosen alternative methods is Platinum Palladium. I make images because I don’t want to forget.

All that I am is because of you.

All that I do is for you.

Arlishia Smith

My passion for photography really took off during the pandemic, especially while working professionally as a lab technician. It was my escape from all the stress. I’m proud to say I’m a street photographer, capturing graffiti, people, and even those old, faded posters on abandoned buildings. Now, my photos are being shown at the Capturing Houston Exhibition with the Monad Gallery and the Harris County Juried Exhibition. I also had my work featured on Flickr twice this year.

Rita Swinford

Self-taught and perpetually in motion, I have always preferred inspiration to information. The camera is not a tool I use- it is an extension of myself (at least sometimes), a medium through which a lifetime of looking slowly becomes a language. That language doesn't arrive all at once, but in stutters or accumulations, occasionally overwhelming. I am dedicated to the work of letting it unfold.

Brett Wooley-Hall

I grew up in Phoenix before moving to Houston, Texas in 2023. I travel back to Arizona and California often, both for work and to see family, and in my work I try to capture a sense of both the harmony and placelessness I feel innately in the West, as well as what I would consider to be an outsider's perspective on the South. In being pulled between these two geographies and others around the country and the globe, I have tried to abstract my experience of the world to convince myself that is at once peaceful and strange.
