NUDES October 7 to November 20, 2010 Opening Reception Thursday, October 7th 5:30 to 7:30 pm more Jim Stipovich is a successful commercial photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a talented photographer, his work extends naturally well beyond weddings and portraiture; he has a strong fine art portfolio too. When we discussed his exhibit at the early planning stages Jim suggested his Nudes series. Once I saw the entire body of work in his studio I was hooked. Almost entirely shot out-of-doors, Nudes spans three decades in an exploration of light and shape found in the female human form in nature. I invite you to join the Bay Area photo community in viewing and admiring the work of Jim Stipovich. ~Andrea McLaughlin "Very early on I realized that photography for me was using the light available from the sun. Flash and artificial lights, prevalent in photojournalism at the time didn't interest me. The appeal of available lighting and B&W printing has never waned for me, even though for many years this was not commercially popular or necessarily profitable. Now, black and white photographs using natural light fill the editorial and advertising pages of leading publications in all fields. I strive to create vital, direct pictures of people and places, which immediately grab the eye of the viewer. My honest and personable approach produces photographs that hold the viewer's attention and become objects of pride and satisfaction." ~Jim Stipovich map and directions Now reviewing portfolios for exhibitions for 2011 / 2012 The Photolab Gallery is a not for profit gallery space made available to selected photographers to show-case and sell their work.
