Artist Statement
Photography has always been a passion. It was a way for me to capture moments I inherently saw as photographic (photogenic?). My path to photography started in South Jersey where I grew up. For my fifth Christmas, my big present was a Polaroid Land Camera. I‘ve been making photographs ever since.
My current project – L.A. After SUNSET – is a series of images that capture the beauty and essence of Los Angeles’ dramatic transformation at SUNSET. Each piece is an illumination of the oddities of the respective landscape – both physical and societal. The end result? Beautiful images which evoke a unique combination of the gritty reality and ethereal make believe of L.A. With a famously storied past, the City of Angels comes to life at sunset.-Connie Conway
