I’ve been working on an alternative portrait photography art project for several months now, and my photos are finally up at the cre8ery gallery! I’m part of a photographic art collective here in Winnipeg, and about once a year we do a group photo exhibit. For this exhibit, I created a series of 52 images consisting of unconventional portraits. I had a ton of fun shooting & editing the images, and a challenging time actually putting up the photos at the gallery (involving 18 screens, 208 magnets, fishing line & duct tape!), but I’m glad it’s finally up and on display! The opening reception was last Thursday, but the show runs until May 3rd (free admission). You should venture down to the Exchange District and see the show while the weather’s so nice!

The show is at the cre8ery gallery: 125 Adelaide Street (near Red River College in the Exchange District). For more info, click here.

A lot of work is put into putting up a photo exhibit! Here are a few behind the scene photos from our afternoon at the cre8ery, the day before the big opening night:

Measuring, leveling, hammering, hanging… lots of work! (thanks Jordan)
