It suggests a scene that is rich, varied, and possibly magical or enchanting in its visual impact. In the context of photography, a menagerie of light refers to the diverse and intricate ways light is captured and manipulated in an image.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victoria&#8217;s inspiration for her images comes from chasing light and discovering interesting organic shapes. She truly enjoys exploring and capturing moments of natural beauty. While photographing botanicals might seem mundane to some, she finds it exciting. By using multiple exposures on her digital camera, she creates intriguing new shapes from the plants and flowers in the environment. These new blooms evoke an ethereal feeling that many people can relate to when strolling through nature. Photography serves as an escape from the stresses of everyday life and a way to strengthen her artistic muscles. Her goal is to capture the essence of nature in a fresh way while presenting it differently from the norm.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victoria Flores is the Spectrum Art Gallery manager and webmaster. She is an accomplished artist, adjunct professor at Fresno City College and a CSUSacramento Alumni. She has seamlessly integrated formal education, technical expertise, and community service throughout her diverse career in visual arts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this exhibition, Meg chose black and white photographs to showcase her distinctive approach to capturing \u201clight.\u201d Light is what allows us to see the world around us, and without it, there would be no such thing as photography. Meg delights in capturing the spectacular, gritty, \u201cnormal,\u201d courageous, and bizarre aspects of the world we live in. She tends to be spontaneous when she shoots, seizing compelling moments and trying to capture the light before it fades away. Whether it&#8217;s spotlights in a dark music venue, soft diffuse light dispersing into seemingly quiet spaces during a rainstorm, or a silhouetted dancer in the sky, the starkness and softness of black and white make these two commanding shades capable of signifying everything and nothing at once. Meg is excited to share this space with two fellow photographers who also capture the world in their own distinct ways.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meg Kosloff\u2019s portfolio showcases a diverse range of subjects, including street scenes, bands\/musicians, food, and landscapes, making her aptly described as a lifestyle photographer. Beyond her creative pursuits, Meg is also an accomplished ICU nurse with a wealth of experience in listening to people\u2019s stories. She loves embarking on adventures and spending time with her husband and their two adorable kitties.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua Moulton is an award-winning landscape photographer who seeks out large, imaginative scenes that skew towards the fantastical. With a backpack chock full of camera gear\u2014Joshua is ready for any condition as he will often be found ankle-deep in rivers, traversing questionable heights, and craning his neck upwards with digital Fuji in hand to capture a fleeting moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Menagerie of Light is a collection of images captured in 2024 with a focus on the American deserts with overlapping, yet discernible points of view. Each scene is transformed by unique light compelling the artist to capture its moment, to engage the shutter, to freeze time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua is a CSU Fresno alumni with a BA in Geography. When not traveling, this Central California native stays close to home in Clovis with his favorite companion \u2013 his beautiful wife Jessica, their two cats and his Onewheels.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art Hop Reception: September 5, 2024 \u2022 5-8PM<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friday Photography Live: Artist discussion\u00a0 September 27, 2024 \u2022 7PM<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MENAGERIE OF LIGHT September 5 to 29, 2024 Art Hop Reception: September 5th \u2022 5 &#8211; 8 PM\u00a0 Friday Photography Live Presentation: Artist Discussion September 27th, 2024 \u2022 7 PM Ladybug Lush &#8211; Victoria Flores Lookout &#8211; Meg Kosloff Desert Lights &#8211; Josh Moulton The phrase, Menagerie of Light, evokes the idea of a diverse [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,10],"tags":[167,199,72,75,95,191,11,170,198,161,96,89],"class_list":["post-4705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-exhibit","category-exhibitions","tag-blackandwhite","tag-digital-photography","tag-fine-art","tag-fine-art-photography","tag-fresno","tag-galleryexhibition","tag-landscape","tag-landscapephotography","tag-multiple-exposure-2","tag-naturephotography","tag-photography","tag-spectrum-art-gallery"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4705"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4732,"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4705\/revisions\/4732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrumphotogallery.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
