Resonance

In this collection of fine art photography, the second annual juried exhibition of work by members of the American Society of Photographers, a group of 41 artists share their individual ways of seeing through 51 works of art. As you view this diverse, yet unified, tapestry of images, we invite you to explore what resonates with you. Art has always been a conversation between the artist and the viewer, each bringing personal experience to the moment. This collection is intriguing not only for the strength of each image and its conversation with you, but also for the dialogue that forms among the images as they resonate with one another. Bold against delicate; abstract against intimate, the contrast invites the viewer to linger, enjoy, and appreciate the connective tissue that binds these artists and the worlds they photograph. Each photograph here is an act of intention. While some capture the quiet presence of the everyday, others expand the boundaries of imagination. Questions are asked, solace is offered, and space is held for beauty to exist on its own terms. Within these pages there are images that serve as very personal, visual poetry and others that are joyful celebrations of form. Some are odes to nature, while others delve deep into the human spirit. You will find a deeper exploration of the artists and their creative expression in essays accompanying some of the artwork, and in the artists' statements later in the book. We invite you to rediscover the world through the eyes of our artists. Curiosity is a delightful compass to guide you. May these images inspire you to pause and explore how they resonate in your heart and mind.
