Photo Exhibit (Sponsored Feature)
Photo by Emily Dryden
In a world of ever increasing population density and digital connectivity, it’s perplexing we can still feel isolated, but many do. One, Images of Isolation explores this theme through the photography of Aaron Pevey, Joe Martinez and Emily Dryden. Each image in One—whether portrait, still-life, interior or landscape—suggests a sense of isolation that often inhabits the city dweller, for better or worse.
Hosting the show is One Twelve Gallery, a not-for-profit exhibition space that’s located in an Inman Park church across from Krog Bar in the Stove Works loft. One Twelve is dedicated to engaging the community through art, and because they’re non-profit and volunteer-run, the majority of proceeds go back to the artist.
About the photographers:
A recent transplant to New York City, Emily Dryden worked as a freelance photographer in Atlanta after graduating from Portfolio Center. Her work has appeared in Atlanta magazine and CMYK.
Joe Martinez grew up in a Navy family and lived all over the world before graduating in photography from Atlanta’s Portfolio Center and settling in nearby East Point to freelance. He has worked with Nickelodeon, Yahoo! Music, and Atlanta magazine.
Aaron Pevey, lives and photographs in Atlanta. He shot the prints in One with vintage cameras and developed both digitally and on 120 film. He uses all-plastic cameras because, “they bend light in interesting, unexpected ways.”
Event Details:
The exhibition runs through October 23 and is free to the public. An opening reception will take place Friday, August 20th from 7-9pm. More information can be found at OneTwelveGallery.com.
